A few years back, I got fascinated by the Akita Inu as a breed. I was actually searching for a sturdy build dog with a special look. Finding such a dog threatened to become a mission impossible. This due to the high demands I had set for this dog. That’s how my study about the world of dogs started. To my surprise, I did found a dog that would fit my own nature: honest, dignified, independent, loyal and at it’s time, dominant. So this dog fitted my own nature exactly an next to is was also friendly, social and courageous. After one more year of studying, I was certain this kind of dog had the qualities I was looking for and so bought my first Akita from Mr. Cornelis Koot. Being: “Libertas as Aras an Uachtarain”
Today, it’s been 22 years and I now know so much of the breed, I consider it my privilege to share that knowledge with others.
The breed split caused me a lot
of grief because I still look at the Akita as a dog, no matter named
Akita or American Akita.
I also showed the world of dog
fanciers that it is possible to work with the Akita and American Akita,
and that they can have an excellent temperament as well.
Meanwhile, my friend and
husband Piet has become totally addicted to those beautiful dogs also.
Therefore and together, we
dedicate our lives 100% to be able to say: We dedicate ourselves 100 % to achieve such because it’s our responsibility to put something good on the world. Pure and simple.
