| In this comprehensive book of the breed, the origins of the Akita are traced from its native home to its adoption in the USA and, more recently, its introduction to Europe and to Australia and New Zealand.
The character of the breed is examined, giving invaluable information on handling a large, powerful dog. Feeding, exercise and coat care are given exstensive coverage, moving on to the more specialised area of breeding a litter, breed associated conditions and understanding genetics.
The Breed Standard is analysed in detail, and there is guidance on presenting the Akita in the show ring. The book is lavishly illustrated with over 200 colour and black-and-white photographs. RRP: £19.95
Seapets Price: £11.45
