Akita Shepherd

An Akita Shepherd is a mixed breed dog–a cross between the Akita and German Shepherd Dog breeds. Stoic, loyal, and hard-working, these pups inherited some of the best traits from both of their parents.

The Akita Shepherd is sometimes also called a Shepkita. Despite their unfortunate status as a designer breed, you may find these mixed breed dogs in shelters…
