		<title>Dog Travel &#8211; Keep Your Akita Cool!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Akita&#8217;s (just like any other dog for that matter) don&#8217;t release body heat as effectively as humans do. Dogs are therefore much more susceptible to hot temperatures.



My Akita dog Kensho likes to sunbathe but he has always access to shade and fresh water. He has a choice.
Dogs in a car don&#8217;t have that choice!

		<title>Bloat in Dogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once or twice a day my Akita Kensho has his crazy 5 minutes and today.. finally… I had the camera within reach. 
The routine is the same every morning: we go for a 30 – 45 minute walk, I pick up the newspaper en we return home. He plays with a fluffy toy or ball [...]]]></description>

		<title>Akita Breeders in the Netherlands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Choose an Akita breeder wisely as you&#8217;ll be likely asking them for guidance and advice in the future.  Make sure the breeder of your choice is paying attention to socialization of the Akita pups before they leave their mother and siblings.





Some rules for an Akita breeder to comply with are:

		<title>Akita and Husky Play with Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The posts about Akita aggression draw a lot of attention on this blog.
I&#8217;m glad though that many people post comments about their experiences with Akita&#8217;s that convince that these dogs are great pets (or can be after training). You do need to know what you&#8217;re dealing with. Don&#8217;t buy an Akita in an impulse.

		<description><![CDATA[Exercise is very important in a dog &#8211; dog owner relationship. Being your dog’s owner by law or by payment does not mean your dog will acknowledge that fact. You have to deserve being the alpha, the guy or woman in charge!
According to Cesar Millan, the “Dog Whisperer”, you should maintain a healthy relationship with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kensho reunites with Tommie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[ad#akitabanner]
Apparently Kensho is very happy to see Tommie the Cat again (he has stayed at my mother&#8217;s for a full week&#8230; and we all missed him too). Kensho is following Tommie through the house all day. She likes his devotion as the movie clearly shows. Hear her purrrrr&#8230;&#8230;
