Self-introduction 

　

  I keep nine Akitas at the moment.

  They are for exhibitions(showing)   

  in some cases, but are also for

  my  pet dogs in other cases.

  I don`t narrow down to one single   

  purpose.

  Either showing or breeding will do for   

  me.

  Trigger of the start of showing was the pet-shop person invited me to

  go to a dog show and I was told by him just to let my dog stand during

  the show.

  I was meaninglessly positive to win the first prize because I put too

  much confidence in my Akita`s loveliness.

  So I exhibited mine to the show,but as it turned out, my Akita was 

  second worst.

  I couldn`t accept this miserable result, but I had a great desire to try

  it again.

  My second challenge to the show began from there.

  I learned there`s a certain standard in dog-showing, better awesome

  posture and also learned just standing there is not highly praised at all.

  Having failed several times, I went to many far places all over Japan

  to meet a lot of dogs and learned a great deal from the experience.

  Then I have tried to breed and raise Akitas because I just wanted to

  see the cute puppies born from my own Akita.

  This was what began it all.

  I also learned that breeding is not simply mating one male with other

  female.

  The most important part of breeding is blood.

  I still have a long way to go and learn much more about the Akita.
