From the Inside Flap
The impressive-looking Akita has held an honoured place in Japanese homes since earliest civilisation, highly-prized for its hunting and guarding abilities. But it was on its introduction to the western world that the breed reached new heights of popularity, both in the show ring and as a companion. 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 extensive 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. Tips From The Top is an interesting new feature which presents interviews from four top Akita breeders giving their own highly personal views on the breed. The book is lavishly illustrated with over 200 colour and black and white photos.
