@TreySmith417 The OP is looking for a Japanese Akita/Akita Inu. Baycrest doesn't to Japanese Akitas that breed Akitas/blends.

I didn't have expectations of the study in terms of one breed or two: that isn't my basic interest in it. You and Sean can continue to promote all the lies about me you want: the genetics and interpretation of it are what they are. Linda I wouldn…

Hi Linda, I spoke to Dr. Pedersen over the phone. At the end of the call we both agreed that the best thing to do was to fund a separate Japanese Akita only test. We both agreed that the breed wasn't going to be merged so it made little sense t…

I'm curious too - could you post a photo for us to see?

Again for me its all about giving back. To me the shows are all about meeting up with friends and thanking the people who bred our dogs by entering the ring.
-
To all the people who are coming to watch but not show... any reason why you're not planning on showing? Showing is a crap shoot and you really don't know if you're going to win or not. Outside of the show that we run in the fall this is the on…

I don't know if I would go that far to say the whole ACA is anti two breeds. They need a 2/3rds of their general membership to vote to split the breed in AKC. The last vote was above 50%. Is AKC really that important? If you feel that AKC is…

The Akita Club of America is recognized as the parent club of the Akita in AKC. They do not separate between AA or JA but the American Akita is the dominant breed represented. There are some people who show JA but they tend not to do well or nee…

Claire is correct. It's important to look at these dogs and try to identify what traits the Japanese wanted to replicate through breeding and what looks and traits they wanted to out. At one point the dogs around Odate became knows as Odate Inu…

Back then there was no such thing as an Akita. They had a group of dogs that were similar in look and type found in the Akita region. In the mid to late 1800s many breeders were crossing these dogs for the purposes of dog fighting. By the 19…

Good Morning, One of the best sources to read about the restoration is the book. http://www.amazon.com/Dog-Man-Uncommon-Faraway-Mountain/dp/1594483906 I've never felt that the Japanese just had nine or twelve Akitas post war. Personally I bel…

It's a typo. UKC Japanese Akita Speciality is Saturday Feb 13th. Akiho is feb 14th. We'll correct the website.

13th Japanese Akita National Speciality. 14th of feb Akiho Los Angeles Branch show. Both Gardena CA. Sorry for no photos yet. OSX El Capitan is an El Crapitan

Usually when the go to their adult coat the stripes clean up. The tend to get a little more red and then start the long trek of getting lighter.
-
Lovely thanks. She is a very similar colour so I imagine she won't be far off your dog looks wise. The only difference I can see is my Pumpkin has a paler mask. I really love the lighter red brindles but the breeder advised against it as I wanted…

Here is my Akatora - this should give you an idea what to expect as they age. 7wks - 5yrs(last photo) (Image) (Image)

I would check with your breeder and ask what the scores were for the Sire and Dam. I would also ask if the breeder has had any history of HD in their breeding program. While having both the sire and dam have passed won't fully prevent it at least …

@Jun It's funny what I can remember and what I cannot. Cost of shipping Kizuna to you -got it. Remembering other things not so much.
-
When I shipped Kizuna a few years ago the owners paid $330 to send her from LAX to Calgary via Air Canada. I'm sure the rules changed since then but I found the process to be very easy and the staff at the freight office was super nice. I kno…

Perfect thank you. Can't wait to see everyone. For the rescues if they want to do a booth please have them email me at sean@akita-inu.com

The goal for the is to help combat Autoimmune disorders right? So if splitting the samples leads to more participation how on earth could someone be against that?
-
If this really is the best chance at reducing the risk of autoimmune issues then the group running this needs to be willing to separate the Akita by breed. It's easy just take a pedigree and see if it falls under one of these three conditions: (a)…

@ayk - Same sire as Toki I believe. Congrats on the new puppy. I think Okami is adorable enjoy your time together. Off topic - I know some people throw around "jap" as an abbreviation but don't forget that it is offensive to some p…

@lindsayt -its still in the works but JACA is planning a summer picnic/meetup in Seattle this june/july.
-
Stacey, I agree the noise is an issue there. While I like the RV parking it seemed to me that it was just too much noise. The staff was very easy to deal with and of course so is the staff at Gardena. Gardena gives us a much nicer show surface …

Perfect let me know how it is.

So my concern with Claremont is that it is no longer the tennis club and back to a motel 6. In college in the 90s I stayed there twice and it was not nearly as nice as it now. Also I think we get better foot traffic at a park. I looked into si…
