Product Description
The story and photos of HACHIKO are included in this book which is the ONLY AWARD WINNING BOOK ON AKITAS!. The Dog Writers Association of America selected the first volume as the Best Breed Book for 1992. It is now updated with an additional 300 pages (to 500 pages), with 17 Chapters, 8 appendices, 130 color images, 50 black & white photos, 30 illustrations, and anatomical illustrations. It includes the story of Hachiko, the Akita whose loyalty is legend in Japan; Helen Keller who introduced the Akita into the United States, plus the important information any Akita owner needs.
The Akita Nutrition Chapter introduces you to the real world behind the dog food industry and offers healthy alternatives including the Bones and Raw Foods diet. The General Health Chapter offers an in-depth discussion on vaccines and recommended vaccine protocols from the experts. Canine diseases, parasites, and basic care are covered along with homeopathic alternatives, antibody titers, nosodes, and immune system support. History, Training, Puppy Care, Growth Stages, Temperament, Dog Shows, and Breeding. Who said puppies do not come with a manual? This IS THE MANUAL for everything Akita. An extensive Herbs and Supplements Chapter will guide you through the quagmire of using supplements. The Akita Diseases Chapter brings you the latest important information on diseases that affect the Akita, plus diagnosis, treatments, drugs and nutritional support. The book is worth owning for the sheer volume of information on toxins in the environment that affect you, your family and your Akita.
World renowned veterinarian, Dr. Jean Dodds, edited and co-authored all medical Chapters. This book has quickly become known as: the BIBLE FOR AKITAS! A Japanese proverb says: One written word is worth a thousand pieces of gold. This book is priceless!

akita - treasure of japan volume ii September 17, 2009
Lori Goodwin (Livingston, TX)
i love anything about akitas... "Dog Man: An Uncommon Life on a Faraway Mountain" is great book for Akita lovers
A Must Have for all Akita / dog owners.... September 1, 2009
Rannie G (CA)
I now have volumes I and II of Ms. Bouyet's books. I have Akitas and rely heavily on the information in the book(s). However, ANY dog owner will benefit from much in the book. It has the most detailed and comprehensive information on diseases, nutrition, and just about any topic the Akita / dog owner would need to know. Kudos! Fabulous book! --- And a VERY reasonable price.
An Akita Lover's Must Have Book July 12, 2009
Melissa M. Hofer (Sayville, NY United States)
If you're like me and wanted to experience a different breed of dog, then the Akita is for you. Like me I thought they were the same as any other large breed dog...boy was I wrong. I purchased Akita - Treasure of Japan for insight and knowledge of this very majestic dog. It turned out to be the most informative, detailed and easy to read guide. I loved reading about the history of the Akita, it helped to explain how their temperment and courage came to be. I also loved the section on nutrition which I believe is very important to help keep this breed healthy and the kinds of diseases and illnesses they are prone to. I now feel like an Akita expert.
Best Akita Book EVER!!! February 8, 2009
DogsRbetter (much TOO sunny, southern, overpopulated, California)
This is, without a doubt, the best book on the Akita Breed ever written! Contains comprhensive chapters on topics such as Nutrition, Training, Health, Dog Shows, How to Find a Breeder, History and more. If you buy only one book on the breed make it this one! We are so fortunate to have this book. I can't imagine being without it. Kudos to the author-I imagine all breeds need someone like this! The price is actually laughable, considering what you are getting. Worth many times the current asking price. DogsRbetter, and if yours happens to be an Akita-you really want this book!
Life saving information! June 5, 2008
Barbara Bouyet (California)
This book is like having a shelf full of texts sitting in one tidy area of your bookcase. It is unlike any dog book available. The environmental information is vital, not just for your Akita, but for your kids and you. You cannot accept the recommendations of agencies like the FDA and EPA when they prefer to ignore the hazards of some chemicals while minimizing the adverse health effects of others--you need to educate yourself, and this book does just that. It will save you thousands in vet bills by teaching you how to use preventative measures. You cannot afford not to have this book and you cannot raise your Akita without understanding the health and nutritional requirements of the breed.
