Akitas: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Breeding, Behavior, and Training (Complete Pet Owner's Manual)

Rating:
Summary: Short, but filled with information.
Review: I have bought several books about Akita's from Amazon.
This book was filled with information and was written in a easy
to read format. I own seven Akita's and have raised two litters.
Anyone thinking of purchasing an Akita for the first time should
read this book.

Summary: Training tips
Review: I have purchased this book after adopting an Akita.
The book states not to adopt an older Akita like I did.
I do not agree. I have a great 2yr old Akita that I adopted from my local animal shelter.
This book does have some great information until it comes to training.I would suggest a different book if training is what your looking for.

Rating:
Summary: Good overview of the Akita, "Complete" is misleading.
Review: The book provides quality information, just keep in mind it is pretty much a general overview of many topics. It does not go in depth on any one topic (i.e. training, nutrition, history). For someone who doesn't know anything about dogs, particularly Akitas, this would be good. I found a lot of the information general dog knowledge.
