Akita
Resources
The following is a list of resources for Akita owners who are
having a problem with their Akita (though they may benefit other
breeds too or be general dog resources). While we will try to keep
these resources current, due to the ever evolving nature of the
Internet, there is no guarantee that all links will work. Please
let us know if a link is not working & we will correct it or
remove it as soon as possible (Akita.Coach@gmail.com).
Ideally we want you to connect to an Akita Coach near you 
The buttons above lead to
online resources for the subjects in the Index below &
other resources for Akita owners. While some of the links
are Akita specific, others are general dog information
that will apply to the subject they are listed under.
Click on the appropriate button for online resources to
help you find what you need.
NOTE: If you got your Akita from
a reputable breeder, put their number on speed-dial
& make sure you have their email - - they
should be one of your FIRST resources for any
problems that are not medical, needing veterinary
intervention. Even then, a good breeder
will want to know about any medical issues of any dog
from their breedings.
