  • "the head proportion of the Japanese Akita is 50/50 compared to 40/60 in the American Akita" I am aware that the muzzle length to length of skull is a ratio of 2:3 (or 40/60) in the AKC Akita Standard. However, I have never seen any stan…
  • Here is the web site that has all the breed split reports http://madeleinebsmith.tripod.com/splitreports/SlpitReports.htm
  • An AKC Akita can be registered in an FCI country as either and American Akita or and Akita (Japanese Type), and vice versa. Both the FCI American Akita and the FCI Akita can be registered with AKC as an Akita. The AKC does not have a breed call…
  • ‘@Loren_Egland,you started with AKIHO which is like the best place to get a JA. Starting with an AKIHO puppy, I can see how your JAkita did so well.’ AKIHO can be a good source, but in recent years breeders in FCI countries and in AKC have produced…
  • In reality, the organization that an Akita is registered with has nothing to do with the quality of the animal. Some Akitas are registered with several registering bodies. It is rather the Akita standard that defines the better dogs while those wh…
  • First, AKC would have to divide the breed, which is not likely to happen. But if a breed split proposal could get by the ACA membership and AKC would accept the particulars as to how the breed would be divided, I doubt that any titles would be lost…
  • 'In response to the above quote... If the current ACA/AKC Akita isn't working for you may I suggest a third option? How about going into the Continental Kennel Club? http://www.ckcusa.com/registration.aspx . They issue pedigrees with photos and witn…
  • Part Two It doesn't make sense to insist on splitting the Akita breed in a manner that would be unreasonable and that would unfairly penalize any Akita fancier. If a person wants to see a breed split take place so they have a place to show their Ak…
  • Part One Splitting the Akita Breed in America In countries where the Akita breed has been split into two separate breeds, many have been perplexed about the reasons why America has not also split the breed. Even the JKC delegations that attended…
  • I think that a long hair Akita is a disqualifying fault for the FCI Akita standard and the AKIKYO Akita standard, but I don't see the same for the FCI American Akita standard, the AKC Akita standard, the NIPPO Akita standard, the AKIHO Akita standar…
  • Just a correction of understanding. The judge that I mentioned was surprised at the American heritage of the young brindle male had to do with 100% American lines, not the 75% Japanese lines Akita. That was a different show and country. The reaso…
  • Keep in mind that FCI countries did not have an 18 year period in which they could not import Akitas from Japan. That only happened in America. The dog I was speaking of was what you would call an American Akita since the entire pedigree contains…
  • Thanks for sharing these pictures Jack. Some pretty dogs. How many dogs entered the LA show this year?
  • I would be in favor of a breed split done the same way as the FCI did theirs. But that will not happen no matter what side of the issue a person sides with. Differing opinions about how the breed should be split is in my opinion why members of the…
  • I am new to this forum, and have posted these links elsewhere today, but I am just catching up on some of these threads. Our website www.northlandakitas.com or www.akitahistory.info has been referred to. Since then there are many new articles and …

  • Loved seeing the pictures. Very cute of the handsome Hime and Hiko. Does the Los Angeles Branch of AKIHO still have their annual Febuary Show? I noticed a couple of comments wondering why the Akita breed is not split in America. It is a complex …
