 Choice Akita dog by favorite color

Almost families who hope to live with Akita dog discuss about choice the male or female and color with pleasure when they buy a puppy of Akita dog. So we'd like to mention about Akita dog's color in this time.

The standard color of Akita dogs are red, Japanese say "tora" (mixed black and white with stripe) and white. The red is just loyal dog Hachiko's color. He had thin red color. On the contrary, We say "Yakeaka" to the deep red. The best red color is middle red color, not too thin and not too deep. If it is too thin, it gives the impression as thin presence. And if it is too deep, it gives the impression as long-winded.

There are customers who hope to buy Akita dog from us that are "I buy red Akita definitely", "I feel red Akita is safe" and "If I had to choose one, I like red". Of course, Akita dog's personality and physique isn't different by the color.

Akita dog of red dolor is the highest the awareness in Japan. It is often that some one come closer while saying "It is Akita dog isn't it?" or "You have good Akita dog" when an owner takes a walk with an Akita dog of red dolor.

If there is no resistance such the communication with strangers, it might be good that you will live with Akita dog of red dolor who is representative of Akita dogs.

On the other hand, it seems the people who like "Tora" chose "Tora" with strong will more than red. In fact Tora is lower than red as awareness. So almost people say to Akita dog's owner during walk, "Is it Tora?", not "It is Tora isn't it?". And some even people ask the question to Akita dog's owner, "What's kind of the dog?" in Japan.

Some people came closer to the Akita dog, stroking the head, taking pictures and talking to the owner. On another occasion, An Akita dog of Tora with an owner appeared at waiting space of the local air port to depart from Japan. It was only a few people who was express an interested in the Tora beyond comparison red Akita dog. 

In other words, many people can't understand it is Akita dog when they see Tora. Tora's color is rugged than red Akita. So Tora's color gives scary impression and gives above being familiar be hard to approach. Therefore Tora is the perfect to the owner who think,"Akita dog is just Tora even if people like or not".
