DAIRYU, SAKURA and SEIOU were imported from Japan through Mr. NAKAGAWA, till 2003 head of the Akita section in JKC, for which I am greatly obliged to him. I asked Mr. Nakagawa to select the puppies for rne personally and carefully because this time I set high standards für the purchase of the puppies, that is:

• the puppies should become excellent representatives of their race some day;
• they should descend from healthy parents since some Akitas are ill in Europe;
• they should not transmit long hair and
• they should not have kin in Europe.

I had to wait between 6 and 9 months respectively until I got a puppy.

Commet:
DAIRYU,SAKURA and SEIOU are now 9, 8 and 7 years old and are in the best of health. Their puppies are excellent representatives of their race (HD=A and B) and healty.
