Summary
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.
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.
