Batora [HAKUBA NO OUJISAMA GO HIDDEN CASCADE] (Goten x Risa 2012)
We didn't import him, but he's ours for now. 
He is a year old with no training and no experience indoors, so we got a little work ahead of us. He jumps and nips people he likes and does not have a soft mouth. He also marks everything and doesn't know to walk on a loose leash. He's very sweet and friendly, easygoing and adjusting quickly. He is confident and, except for enthusiastic greetings, a pretty mellow and very stable dog. He's huge! He may end up being the largest JA I have met in person. His head, neck, and chest are large and thick and powerful. His coat length and texture are great. He could be a little whiter, but I like how dark his nose, lips, eyes, and anus are -- so its a trade off. (I think NIPPO judges would like his coat color... lol.)
Okay, without furthur ado, the photo spam.
Photos from his puppyhood.
Photos from his first morning with us.
Playtime in the back yard. Sorry for action shot quality.

And your hair is gone!! Looks good.
I wonder how much a bath will lighten him up... :-/
Maybe Batora will learn to grab tugs/toys instead of greeting with his mouth.
Beautiful dog nonetheless.
I posted the pic of him couple times. but I wasn't the owner of this one.
I'm glad that he met new owner like Claire. I was worry that this dog was about to end up with BY breeder. I was the one who imported him for my friend and He has good line to breed with. My plan was using him as stud later. lol.
anyways. Claire congrats and I'm hoping that you keep him FOREVER! lol
