The breed standards below are recommended to all Japanese Akita lovers to have a better understanding of the breed and to learn the correct standards in various aspects such as characteristics, conformations and colors. The FCI visual guide is written by JACA in 2020, in accordance with the current Japanese aesthetic standards. The reason we list this guide is that it is easy to understand compared to other standards that are only written in words. It also shows the current development trend of Japanese Akita Inu in Japan and worldwide, as well as gives us a guide of our breeding goals. You can also find the AKIHO standard and ANKC standard below.
