| Here I have compiled a list of books
that I can recommend to the new Akita owner. I own and have read each and
every one of these books apart from only a one. I would suggest any of the
top few as great starter books on the breed. I have studied the Akita breed
for a number of years and most all my information comes from owning my Akitas
but as well I can thank Barbara Andrews and Barabara Bouyet for their excellent
and superior knowledge when it comes to the Akitas! Have a look below at
my collection of Akita books as well as training literature which will help
you with your new puppy. If you would like any further information with
regards to any of this reading material please feel free to E-mail me and
I will do my best to answer what I can. As well if you are interested in
buying any of these books, most can be found by visiting Amazon uk |
