Summary of Akita Puppies and Dogs

Akita puppies and dogs are stunning in appearance. They have a graceful, charming and elegant look about them. The Akita's grooming requirements are not too demanding as they do not require bathing too often and their hair only needs to be groomed weekly, on a regular basis. Training is vitally important as this particular breed takes it very seriously, and can in fact be over trained. Overly training an Akita can unfortunately encourage unwanted personality traits so it is important to seek advice about the most suitable type of training. With suitable training, Akita puppies can develop into well-behaved, laid-back, loving, devoted and loyal adult dogs, and great family pets.
