Brindle French Bulldogs are super common ... Originally from Japan, the Akita—also known as Akita Inu—is a medium-sized pup that makes a great family dog (with or without a brindled coat!).

In summer 2012, Putin received a present of an Akita-Inu dog puppy - the breed well known due to the Kachiko movie - from Governor of Japan’s Akita Prefecture Norihisa Satake TOKYO, December 3.
