The vision

Of Chiyoko Kensha

To make the correct combination between male and female, we spend a lot of time and energy in gathering knowledge and know-how. This in combination with an far reaching passion for the breed and ambitious goals makes boundries and distance no longer an obstacle regarding our decisions to breed a certain male and female. The breeding of an combination is an result of an long periode of research and investigation in combination with love for the breed and our dogs, patience, effort, health and knowledge.

The breed is unfortunately bond to an small genepool and regularly Akita's will be diagnosed with the auto-immuun diseases SA of VKH. That's why an sound preparatory phase is essential.

One of our many (ambitious) goals regarding the breed are keeping the breed healthy, renewing and expanding the genepoolen.Next to this is an part of our vision recorded in an breedregulation standard bij de breeder-club and the breed standard.

Next to health research such as testing for HD, Patella and eyes, we are always busy with the research of previous generations of the future combinations, this to check in how far for example diseases such as SA en VKH have been revealed.

We are always working on making the best combination in health but also in body, build, movement and karakter. These are only a few examples of the research before we decide to to an certain combination in breeding.

It is an fact that responsible breeding is an dificult puzzle, it is for us as an breeder important to first solve the puzzle before the dicision will be made to breed the combination.
