Akita
Traditionally used as a guard dog in Japan since the ancient times, the Akita has a good reputation for a great household guard dog. They are aggressive pack leaders, especially if you have other dogs in the house. The problem with this dog breed is that it might see small children as intruders, especially if your kids bring friends over to play. Of course, this breed can be trained to be friendlier; but, it is also important to educate kids on how to approach this dog breed.
