The American Kennel Club (AKC)
Akita Standard is the accepted
standard for all Akitas competing in
AKC events in North America, Canada
and Mexico.
The Akita Club of America and AKC,
unlike FCI countries, only recognize
"one" Akita standard and consider the
Akita to be only one breed at this time.
The site at left "Comparisions" will give a breakdown and comparison of the different Akita Standards - AKC, FCI and the Great Japanese Dog (GJD) standard adopted in many other countries as the equivalent to the AKC standard but not permitting use of the "Akita" name.
