Akita puppy swimming through the air

Whoosh whoosh whoosh go the tiny fuzzy paws.
Li'l guy is an Akita, I presume -- a large dog breed dog that originates from Japan's northern mountainous regions.
There are two separate varieties of Akita: a Japanese strain, commonly called "Akita Inu", or "Japanese Akita"; and an American strain, known as the "Akita" or "American Akita".
