Unnamed spotting

Canis lupus familiaris

Habitat:

Hokkaido,Japan

Notes:

Last year January,I went to Hokkaido,Japan for both studying and traveling .In the snow,I took a picture of a furry dog.We all know that Shiba Inu is similar in appearance to the AkitaIt Inu's .But It's said that Shiba Inu is smaller in stature.So,I searched among lots of books and websites.But, still,I can't confirm whether it's Shiba Inu or AkitaIt Inu at full confidence.

It's an Akita. Shibas have a softer face and their orange color runs further down in their face.
