Hey guys,
**UPDATED - here is the link: http://www.geocities.jp/shiraikennel/hq12F1.html
Does any one know the names of the dogs that won prizes at this show?
I searched all over the web ( in English ) and couldn't really find any info.
@TimKim ? @TheWalrus?
All i located was:

I will try to gather some information when I have time.
^^
Nothing urgent. I heard Shirai-san won 3 awards there but not Meiyosho.
Just doing some research into which puppies now might be a little more desirable because of the last show, hehehe!
but I disagree with ShawnaMaire that anything beyond 2000. shipping charge for dog from Japan to U.S.A is 2000. I can't imagine that I can get any kind of good import for 2000. ^^ i can't believe someone actually bought this dog for 19,500 dollars.

I also agree with @timkim
Stud's are being bought by groups and then studded out. They go to their respective new countries and win tittles only to be sold again to a new country. Also please remember our dollar is rather week right now. The price is still out of line but part is do to currency.

He is a beautiful dog and from one of my favourite kennels.
Just bought my tickets to Japan, can't wait to find my pup.
Hoping I don't have to remortgage my home to get him though!! LOL
My male JA (Tajo) descends from "Bandou Tarou Go Saginum Kensha"

I'm really glad for that
@white_bear , I know Shirai/Musashi Aiwa dogs are hugely popular in Europe. Is there any interest in opening that up and looking at other breeders in Japan? There are SO many wonderful breeders and other bloodlines that can be introduced in Europe.
Of course, people also have had difficulty finding Japanese breeders willing to send their dogs abroad (apart from those which are already popular) - either a question of culture or of little know how or language barrier or a mix.
It's good that things have improved lately and new lines entered Europe but we are still a long way to go. If you know of any Japanese breeders willing to sell in Europe, please share!
