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.

Compact Welsh terrier bred for hunting but affectionate and calm at home. Sturdy, low body with a distinctive white double coat, beard and eyebrows needing regular grooming. Intelligent, independent and moderate in exercise needs, it suits engaged families; the breed is now relatively rare.
