I could only see the last picture... but he looks like an Akita to me.

He is a full blood Japanese akita and he looks freally good and healthy. keep up the good dog ownership.

If he's papered through a legitimate registy (AKC, CKC, etc.) then he's a PB Akita.

Don't rely on other people to know what kind of dog you have.

YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PUREBRED AKITA!!!!!

He's a very handsome Akita male. He looks it to me. I don't see where they saw german shepherd in him. Just uneducated people I guess.

Oh he is SUCH an Akita LOL!! Maybe not show quality, but he appears to me to be an Akita.

Some people are jerks to try to tell you something you love isn't what it is.

What are you worried about mate ??? Some idiot who know's nothing about dogs telling you your dog isn't what you thought it was??? - - - You have an Akita on your hands mate - -well done !!! Look after him and he'll look after you!!! By the way - he's an handsome looking little soul - can we have a full on pic? Good luck to you x

Only the last link works, but that shot from the side sure looks full-blooded Akita to me. The fur, coloring, tail, size, and loose skin all Akita features.

to any one that knows the difference between a GSD and an Akita its plain as day that's an Akita. (I researched both extensively before getting my GSD, the Akita was a chance I didn't want to take being a bit more protective and aggressive to other animals. But they make wonderful companions, a friend of mine had one and it was a doll once it got to know me.

The coat and rear legs are wrong for it to be a GSD, the head is different as well. Good looking dog, he will turn into a bear on you in a few years (in size I mean, not temperament.)

I don't see any GSD there, looks like an Akita to me. Definitely not a Japanese style, and I don't know that the Japanese type is necessarily superior to the American.

If he is registered through AKC, you can have a high degree of confidence that he's exactly what he's claimed to be. Other registries are more questionable, but he still looks Akita.

Added: You still only have one working link. If there were a front shot, could tell more about the ears. But from the side, they don't look like GSD ears to me.

Added2: Nope, don't look like GSD ears. Tips are too rounded, and the shape is wrong. They're a bit big, but I've seen bigger. He looks to be in a sort of gangly stage but they sometimes go through that. He may be a little on the fine side, but I think he's a very handsome Akita pup.

hun. whoever told you that is a 100% MORON!!! LOL
I know it doesnt matter because you love your pup, but "YES" you pup is an Akita, no doubt in my mind!!! huggs & beautiful pup by the way鈾モ櫏

he sure looks like one to me and he is a little beauty. ignore people who think they know it all

I think he's beautiful,and he looks like an Akita to me,but like you said,you'd still love him even if he wasn't and that's as it should be.

He is a boooootiful young Akita boy no doubt about it :)

Get used to some being confused with what breed they are, I know with our boy, he is always mistaken for some cross breed, but it is because most of the people that think this have not actually heard of the Akita or just not really seen one up close. Perfect education time.

Kato has been mistaken for malamute, husky, husky x GSD, mal x GSD, husky x mal, chow x mal, and the mixes go on and on.
