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.

An estimated 28 percent of Quebecois households include at least one dog, while about 10 percent include one cat and one dog. That puts Quebec’s total dog population at just over one million—and most of them are rescued. Top dog hiking trails in the province include Monts Sourire et Petit Carcan and Mont Larose, and there are more in the Parc Nacional du Bic. If you’re a dogless dog-lover at the moment and need some canine interaction in your life, check out one of the many dog sledding excursions throughout the Laurentian Mountains!
The preferred dog breed of the Quebecois is the German Shepherd.
