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. Here is everything a prospective owner needs to know about Akitas, including recommendations for feeding, exercise, training, grooming, and much more.

The sturdy Akita, a much favoured breed in his native Japan, is a loyal and affectionate family dog that thrives on companionship with humans. "Barron's" extensive line of "Complete Pet Owner's Manuals" advise current and soon-to-be pet owners on the care of dogs and cats of virtually all recognized breeds, as well as on birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, small mammals, and even exotic creatures like tarantulas and sugar gliders. The information in each book is authoritative but the language is non-technical and easy for every pet owner to understand. Every title in this series is individually written from first page to last by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. All "Complete Pet Owner's Manuals" are filled with high-quality colour photos and instructive line art.
