American akita vs Japanese akita?

In: Dog (Canine) Breeds [Edit categories]

Answer:

It's really easy to tell the difference apart of Japanese akita and American Akitas. (only for adults, but sometimes puppies)

Japanese akitas have only 3 colors, Red (that looks like brown), brindle (tiger pattern), and white.

Im not sure, but American Akitas have more than at least 5 colors. Like pinto, Etc.

Japanese Akitas DOESN'T have any "black masks" on their face. (it means the color black, isn't on their face. so u can see their eyes, nose and everything black on their face.) Anyway, American akitas have black masks. I do not like them because I cant see their face.

I have a pure bred, red Japanese akita. And I got him from a breeder.when he was a puppy, he had some black on his muzzle but then, when he got older it "vanished"
