Pioneering the establishment of Japan’s National Treasure, the Japanese Akita Inu, on our Australian shores!
Together with Shinkon Kensha, we have been working extremely hard to import quality Champion bloodlines and our foundation stock has been subjected to health screening and temperament testing before they are approved to join our breeding program. We have successfully bred a multitude of Champions, including the first red fawn male and red fawn female Akita (Japanese), the first brindle male and brindle female Akita (Japanese), and the first white male Akita (Japanese), to gain Championship Titles in Australia, with Best of Breed, Best in Group, Class in Group, and Class in Show wins achieved.
Our dogs are our cherished and beloved family members. The welfare and integrity of our beloved breed is paramount and we do not take our responsibility lightly. We are proud of our pups who have gone on to become wonderful family members in their chosen loving homes, and are also proud of the pups we have bred who have gone on to become special ambassadors for their breed at shows.
