As of 2020, the American Kennel Club, now considers American and Japanese Akitas to be two separate breeds, no longer allowing free breeding between the two. Breed name ĭebate exists among fanciers whether these are two separate breeds of Akitas. However, it is subject to debate as to whether the Akita strains are distinct, or if they constitute one, single breed.
