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 Bolognese
The Bolognese is a small, sturdy Italian companion dog with a pure white, fluffy, non‑shedding coat that needs regular grooming. Calm, people‑focused and often strongly attached to one person, it suits apartments, needs modest exercise but high company and mental stimulation.
