Meet the Akita dog breed! The Akita is an ancient dog breed from Japan and is a very loyal dog, committed to its family. Today we talk to Denise Fleck who has had several Akitas, has a real soft spot for senior dogs, and is President of the Board of Directors of The Grey Muzzle Organization. Some of the questions we answer in this episode are:
Do Akitas shed?
Do Akitas make good family dogs?
Are Akitas good for a first-time dog owner?
Are Akitas good guard dogs?
