Summary

About American Akita
Large, powerful spitz-type dog with a broad, bear-like head and curled tail. Calm, loyal, and strongly protective with family, but reserved with strangers and often aloof with other dogs. Thick double coat sheds heavily. Intelligent, independent, and best suited to experienced, consistent owners.
About Kleine Münsterländer
The Kleine Münsterländer is a medium, brown‑and‑white versatile gundog from Germany, combining elegant, easy‑care feathered coat with strong working ability. People‑oriented, sensitive and intelligent, it needs regular training, mental challenge and active outdoor life but relaxes calmly at home.
