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 Ibizan Hound
The Ibizan Hound is a tall, deer‑like hunting dog with huge upright ears, a lean athletic build, and smooth or wire coats in red and white. Sensitive and intelligent, it’s calm at home yet driven to chase, needs secure fencing, plenty of exercise, and gentle, positive training.
