Visited Japanese Akitas! (Photos)

Pearlkins · September 2010

Thanks to those for pointing me in Ben's direction (Kobun Akitas) after my last post! We spoked on the phone for a long time and he also invited me out to see the 3 JAs living with him (Ayame, Kita, and Waka). I drove out with my husband and toddler in tow and we all learned a lot about JA's yesterday at Ben's. Plus, the dogs were just so adorable and sweet--the two females ran up to us with toys dangling from their mouths. So cute!

So anyway, I'll send in my application for a puppy, and Ben knows it'll be about 2-3 years before we're ready for a new pup, but I'm sure it'll be well worth the wait.

Here are some photos from our visit...

Thanks for sharing! Looks like a fun time. It is so wonderful that you were able to visit and experience the breed in person. Good luck with the waiting... I know it is hard.

photos are great and 2/3 years will fly by and before you know it you'll have your new puppy. then you can just over load us with pictures.

Thanks! Yep, it's almost silly how excited I am about something that won't happen for a few years. Can't wait!

i was same when i was waiting for my boy and i didn't think i could get more excited but everytime i got a email that made getting my puppy closer i got worse, my other half said i was like a child at christmas.

Yeah, I can imagine it'd be a lot like Christmas morning. Ah, puppies--they're so much trouble but they're just too cute to resist!

How did I not see this post sooner! Waaa thank-you for taking such great pictures and posting about your experience with Ben. Haha I actually just saw this after checking out his website again. I also have about a 2/3 year wait before I can get an Akita. Hopefully life keeps you as busy as it does me so you have some sort of distraction from the wait xD.

Ben is always a pleasure to talk to and is happy to talk about Akita's any given time, We also waited a few years after Ginger (our last Akita) passed away before we got another one. Its well worth the wait. Our little girl Miyuki (she's a tweeny) is now 5 months and is best friends with our 3 and 7yrs old kids. Good luck
