There is no complete ban on Akitas in the UK, but there are restrictions that make it difficult to own an Akitas. The Akita is a designated « dangerous dog » under the Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991, which means that it is illegal to own, sell or breed an Akita without a special license. Under the law, it is illegal to own one of the following four dogs in the UK: this year a law was passed by Parliament banning the possession of certain types of dogs. The Dangerous Dogs Act also strengthened the legal liability of owners of all types of dogs, making it clear that if a dog misbehaved in public, its owner would suffer the consequences. In the UK, it is illegal to sell, abandon, give or breed the following dogs: Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and fila Brasileiro. The ownership of crosses of the four prohibited breeds may also be subject to the same law, depending on the size and characteristics. The other two illegal breeds, the Dogo Argentino and the Fila Brasileiro, were both South American dogs used to hunt large mammals such as wild boar and puma. While the other two illegal breeds, the Dogo Argentino and the Fila Braziliero, were bred to hunt large animals in South America, they also became popular in dog fighting. While most dogs gladly show their emotions, Akitas are more reserved, meaning there is little warning before attacking. They have a reputation for attacking other dogs. The four dogs are commonly used in dog fighting, an illegal practice that has existed for centuries. The law made it illegal to own a dog considered « dangerously out of control » in a public place, and in 2014 it was updated to include private property. One of the first things people notice about Akitas is its size.

However, this can be misleading, as Akitas are actually very light for their size. In fact, men typically only weigh between 100 and 130 pounds, while women only weigh between 70 and 100 pounds. The Akita is a large and vigorous dog originally bred in Japan. The Akita breed standard states that men should be 26 inches on the shoulder, while women should be 24 inches. There is no extreme size in the norm, but many kennel clubs around the world now accept dogs up to 28.5 inches (72 cm) for men and 26.5 inches (67 cm) for women. A police or board dog expert will assess what type of dog you have and whether it presents (or could be) a danger to the public. Your dog will then assess what type of dog you have and if it poses a danger to the public, this will decide whether the dog is released or not. If you own a dog of a forbidden breed, all is not lost. If a court finds that your dog is not a danger to the public, it may decide that the dog be placed on a Released Dog Index (IED). When this happens, you can keep your dog. But there are certain conditions associated with owning a dog on the IED: activists argue that other breeds are not considered banned, even though they have also caused deaths.

In some parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, the Akita breed is banned. This is due to the aggressive tendencies and violence potential of the race. If you`re considering adopting an Akita, it`s important to research the laws of your country or region before you take one home. You can receive an unlimited fine or be sent to jail for up to 6 months (or both) if you have a dog banned against the law. Your dog will also be destroyed. Note: Dogs on this list are unlikely to be dangerous if properly trained by a responsible owner. The responsibility lies solely with the owner. The law states that it is illegal to own a prohibited dog as well as to sell, abandon, give or breed a prohibited dog in accordance with the breed-specific legislation. If you are considering buying an Akita puppy, we recommend that you purchase one from an insured Kennel Club breeder, as it meets additional requirements, including health checks. Parents who have the proper screening reduce the likelihood that your puppy will be affected by these disturbing conditions.

We also recommend that you discuss the medical history of your potential puppy`s parents and grandparents and think very carefully before welcoming a dog with any of the health issues listed in the family lineage. To obtain a permit, the owner must meet a number of conditions, including proof that the dog is kept in a safe environment, muzzled and kept on a leash in public, and is insured against liability for damage caused by the dog. Even with a license, there are still places where Akitas are not allowed, such as in public transport and in some types of apartments. Remember to socialize your Akita from an early age with many other dogs, different people and different experiences. This is especially important for Akitas because of his caution towards strangers and other dogs. Your Akita needs at least two hours of exercise each day – this can be spent walking and walking. In addition, they will enjoy playing in a large safe garden with plenty of training so that they can keep their brains active. Akitas tend to love water, so many swim from time to time. For example, if your dog fulfills many of the characteristics of a Pit Bull Terrier, it may be a forbidden type.
