With the rise of pet culture, more and more people choose to keep pets to accompany them. However, not all dog breeds are suitable for city life, and Akita Inu is one of them. As a large breed, Akita Inu is large in size and has strong aggression, which poses many safety hazards in urban environments, so many cities have listed it as a prohibited breed.

Why is Akita Inu prohibited?

Huge Size: Adult Akita Inu can reach a shoulder height of 71cm and a weight of over 50kg, far exceeding the size limits for keeping dogs in most cities. Such a large size can easily lead to safety hazards in the narrow urban space, such as bumping pedestrians, damaging public facilities, etc.
Strong Aggression: Akita Inu originated in Japan, it is the Japanese national dog, originally used for hunting and protecting homes. They are naturally alert, loyal and have a strong territorial sense. Although they are loyal to their owners, they may show aggression towards strangers or other pets, especially when threatened or provoked, which can easily lead to biting incidents.
Urban environment is not suitable: Akita Inu needs ample exercise space and requires a lot of outdoor activities to release their energy. The urban environment lacks enough activity space, and it is also unable to meet the exercise needs of Akita Inu, which can easily lead to anxiety, depression and other psychological problems, or even destructive behavior.

Which cities prohibit Akita Inu?

Currently, most first-tier and second-tier cities have listed Akita Inu as a prohibited breed, such as:

First-tier cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Tianjin
Second-tier cities: Chengdu, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Xi'an, Changsha, Shenyang, Qingdao, Suzhou, Zhengzhou, Xiamen, etc.
