So I'm an Akiho breeder. Not only am I breeder but I'm a boardmember for our Akiho branch here in the United States. When we discussed markings in an earlier post, I took it as you were educating yourself about the breed. Learning about the br…

Out of curiosity what made you decide to get another puppy? Dont you have a young ja pup at home?

Do you have carpets? Also what does the paw smell like? I thought Kaede was having an issues with fleas it turned out that she was having issues with mites. I pulled all the carpet out of our house. It's been over a year and her paws have yet…

Linda, Sam who used to breed these dogs up in the Little Rock area has moved on. I would say he was finally got out of it a little after this post was posted. At our Akiho show this year we had a couple walking through the show area introducing…

Koko and I will be there Sunday.

Generally American Akitas grow faster than their JA cousins. I have found that a significant amount of American Akitas do not reach that weight. If there is a decent amount of meat on the sides near the ribs and you can't see his spine or rib ca…

Amen to that WrylyBrindle

If you are looking for Akitas(Americans) go to the Akita Club of America website. They have a list of breeders all across the US. If you are looking for a Japanese Akita most of the breeders on the east coast have blends(AA X JA). This little…

$1000 for a PQ pup is fine. You can take your restricted papers and do agility and stuff like that. I know one person who has a white JA and has been very successful with doing nosework with him.

I use this article when explaining when to fix their pet. http://www.naiaonline.org/pdfs/LongTermHealthEffectsOfSpayNeuterInDogs.pdf

Ok a lot of info in this post to sift through. First, the white collar. If you did through this forum, I posted 2005 memo from one of the Akiho judges explaining the white collar or when a blaze extends over the head. The short version is that …

http://www.ukcdogs.com/Web.nsf/Breeds/NorthernBreed/JapaneseAkita The full white collar and facial markings would be either a dq or no placement. But that doesn't mean you can't try agility or other performance competition. If I phrase this poorl…

"Being the standard setting club for the breed has been the priority since day 1, even though I place more importance on the breed being an "active" breed (sports, working, adventuring with owners) over shows and ribbons. Either way, …

That's the beauty of making clubs you can make a club for whatever you want. Whatever you choose your club to be if you are planning on going non-profit the one thing you don't want to get into is anything that smacks of commerce. I would be ver…

Oh and this is very important and in the early section - hold your first general meeting.

First off Akiho is a Japanese HQ club where as JACA is a 501c3 organization. JACA started life as a 501c7 non-profit. We have plenty of multibreed organizations already they're called kennel clubs. So my first suggestion is to focus on one br…

Deez, If you a member of either Akiho or JACA I would post these questions on their internal facebook pages. Lots of people discuss their JA and training there you might get a more indepth response there.

Unlike a lot of standards you need to think of the Akiho standard as an onion. There is no core in an onion instead you have many basic ideas layered together. That forms your base standard. As the years go on the judges write articles or hold s…

Missmarked is what I would call it. To me it's no different than a red or brindle with a full white collar. It could be a totally health awesome JA just not an accepted color nor something that should be bred for. Again we are talking proper mark…

Deez, So items like white boots, white tip tail will generally stay the same on a brindle. What will change , white markings on the face and/or neck area. These in some cases will thin up as the pup ages. Also as the guard coat comes in, brindle…
