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 Field Spaniel
Medium, athletic gundog with a glossy, feathered coat and dark, expressive eyes. Calm yet enthusiastic, deeply attached to family and often sensitive. Needs kind, consistent training, regular exercise, and mental work. Still relatively rare, valued by dedicated enthusiasts.
