About this title

Synopsis

Originally bred in Japan, this large dog is generally alert, good-natured, affectionate, and a loyal companion to its owner. However, many Akitas have a stubborn streak and need firm training from puppyhood. Barron's Pet Owner's Manual provides everything a prospective owner needs to know about the breed, including recommendations for feeding, exercise, training, grooming, and more. Full-color photos.
