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.

Utah has been a home for dog lovers longer than you might think! At Danger Cave, on the western state border, archaeologists have found dog bones buried next to human remains that are more than 9,000 years old. Still today, dogs and their human families love to spend time together out in nature. Visit the old stomping grounds of your canine’s ancestors in Utah’s state parks and camping areas or rent a cottage on the lake for a nice mix between nature and creature comforts. Thousands of restaurants in this state have dog-friendly patios, while hundreds of specialists are available for all your pet’s grooming and spa needs.
