The Akita is simultaneously remarkable for its muscular stature and friendly face. Standing 24 to 28 inches high and weighing anywhere from 70 to 130 pounds, the sturdy Akita traces its lineage to Japan. These dogs have a thick and hardy double coat that serves them well in cool and cold climates. Akitas have a natural connection with humans but need socialization during puppyhood before being around kids and other animals. The Japanese revere the Akita as a loyal family protector.

More than half of Floridians are pet owners, and 40 percent of them have at least one dog in the family. If you live on an acre of land in the state of Florida, you can own up to four dogs. The most popular breed in this state is the German Shepherd, followed closely by the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever. The most popular dog breed in the city of Orlando is none of those, however, but the French Bulldog! For coast-dwelling Floridian dog owners, there’s the added joy of the dog-friendly beaches on either side (and the bottom) of the panhandle.
