Akitas are double-coated breeds that "blow" their undercoat twice a year, resulting in a significant amount of shedding.

You can expect to see Akita hair clumps all over the house during these times. Brushing them outside can help reduce the amount of shedding.

Living in a region with fewer abrupt seasonal changes can result in less shedding for your Akita. However, if your area experiences drastic seasonal temperature transitions, you can expect a heavier and longer seasonal blowout.
