What is the difference between Akita and Shiba Inu, don’t be confused

I believe everyone has seen the movie “Hachikō, the Faithful Dog”, in which Hachikō treats his master with such sincerity that many people are both moved and envious. This Japanese movie is based on a true story that happened in Japan, and Hachiko is a real Akita dog. When I saw the movie yesterday, my youngest son asked me: Dad, this Shiba Inu is so cute! I told him: This is an Akita, not a Shiba Inu. I believe many of you know that Shiba Inu and Akita are both very popular dog breeds in Japan, and the names “Akita” and “Shiba” are also used for Japanese place names. In recent years, these two breeds of pet dogs are increasingly popular in the country, but there are still people who can not distinguish between the two dogs, after all, they really look very similar. I purposely organized to help you better distinguish between Akita and Shiba Inu. This is Shiba Inu: This is Akita: 1, size difference look at the head, adult Akita than adult Shiba Inu tall, Akita belongs to large dogs, Shiba Inu belongs to small dogs 2, facial differences because Akita is historically a bear hunting dog, so look a little like a bear, but this has no scientific basis. The Akita’s face and bones are larger than the Shiba Inu’s, and its eyes are deeper than the Shiba Inu’s, so it looks more fierce than the Shiba Inu’s.3. Hair DifferencesThe Akita’s hair is long and fluffy due to its growth environment, while the Shiba Inu’s hair is short and close-cropped, which can be seen clearly.4. adjectives are cute and mischievous. Maybe this is the difference between a small dog and a large dog, but both are very intelligent. After reading these differences, it should help you to better distinguish between Akita and Shiba Inu. In the simplest terms, the big one is Akita and the small one is Shiba Inu.
