Customer Reviews

When an author becomes an authority...

Our Akita is now 8 years old and has developed, magnificently. This is in no small part due to reading Barbara's book in preparation. As wonderful as the Akita is, this breed best requires the owner some self-education before purchase. This book helps one getting it right from the start (which is imperative).

Bull Terriers

Bull Terriers are my favorite dogs and suff like that. Im getting that dog next week on a saturday. I hope everyone of u people gets a dog tooÜ

Very good book!

This is an excellent reference book for people who are looking to buy an Akita, or the first time owner. The pictures were beautiful, and the text was straight forward and did not try to hide the goods or the bads about owning an Akita. I would recommend this to anyone interested in the breed.
