Summary
About Akita
Large, powerful Japanese spitz breed with a broad head, curled tail and dense double coat that sheds heavily. Calm, independent and reserved with strangers but deeply loyal to family and a natural guardian. Intelligent yet strong‑willed, best for experienced, consistent owners.
About Basset Artésien Normand
Medium French scent hound with short legs, long sturdy body and gentle, noble expression. Affectionate, calm at home and sociable with dogs, but driven by scent outdoors. Needs moderate exercise, positive training, secure fencing and regular care for ears, weight, back and joints.
