Akita dogs are the largest fox-type breed in Japan, and the loyal dog Hachiko is an Akita. They are loyal and intelligent, have keen senses, are very brave, belong to the working dog group, have a strong and powerful body, high energy, and a courageous, calm personality. So, how much does an Akita dog cost?

First, we need to determine which type of dog you want to buy. Akitas are also divided into show-grade, double pedigree, and ordinary dogs. Few people buy show-grade Akitas because they are truly expensive, varying from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand yuan, and they are not suitable for family keeping.

Next, let's talk about double pedigree Akitas. Double pedigree means both parents have pedigree certificates, and you can clearly see the appearance and coat color of the parents. When this puppy grows up, it will definitely differ from other dogs in pedigree and coat color. Relatively speaking, they might be smarter and healthier. But these double pedigree dogs are also very expensive, with prices ranging from 10,000 yuan to as much as 100,000 yuan. Actually, the PetsZone editor does not recommend buying these because we cannot verify the pedigree certificates held by dog dealers, and even if the certificates are real, the puppies might not necessarily be sold by that breeder.

Additionally, if you really love Akitas, the PetsZone editor recommends ordinary Akita dogs. Ordinary Akitas are quite common on the streets. If you find a female Akita that is kept at a home, you can go and say hello and reserve a puppy. This way, you can ensure the child's pedigree and be sure you're not buying a 'week puppy' (a dog less than a week old or an unreliable seller).

Finally, if we talk in detail about the price of Akita dogs, it also depends on the region, such as first-tier cities and second-tier cities. But generally, ordinary Akitas cost around 3,000 yuan. Sometimes, if you know someone who is about to give birth and raises Akitas at home, you might get one for 1,000 yuan. Pet stores are much more trustworthy than dog dealers since the store is physically there and can't run away. It is not recommended to buy online.
