Long coated Akitas are believed to be a throw back to a now extinct dog called a Karafutu dog which was introduced into Akita bloodlines many years ago by the Japanese breeders. Japan has a diverse climate and the northern prefectures are very cold, so to increase the coat density of a normally coated Akita they introduced the bloodlines of this beautiful breed. The long coat is slightly bigger boned than normal, more eager to please and has a very very kind and loving disposition, making them a perfect family pet. They are unique, quite rare and admired by everyone who sees them. Their coat is slightly longer than a normally coated Akita and takes a little more grooming and attention. The advantage is that they love to be groomed and will often preen you back. This creates a loving permanent bond between you and the dog. One thing I can say about long coats is that no owner has ever been displeased with them and the owners have always wanted another. We have only produced one long coat over the years and this is Lilly, here are some pictures with her family Desire and Alex:
