3. Akita
Extremely loyal dogs. The Akita Inu is a native Japanese dog breed and is the national dog breed of the country. The story of Hachiko, the dog who waited for his deceased owner at the train station for more than nine years until his death, gave this breed fame in Japan and worldwide.

These are huge dogs that as the name tells are from Frozen Alaska and the similar neighboring regions of Canada and Greenland.
