The measures of the breed are stand between 60–66 cm (24–26 in) at the withers. Females weigh begins anywhere from 30–45 kg (70–100 lb) and males are 35–54 kg (75–119 lb). The colors of the Akita Inu is only five, but they are impressive: Red, Fawn, Sesame, Brindle, and Pure White. All except white must have whitish hair on the sides of the muzzle, on the cheeks, the neck, chest, body and tail.
