Delaware: Akita
The Akita only ranks 47th on the American Kennel Club list of the top dog breeds of 2018, but a few states would argue against that, including Delaware. Before this breed had an official name, it was known as a “snow country dog.” It comes from the rural mountains of Japan, where it was a hunting dog. There is even a museum in Odate devoted to the Akita.
