Our Vision & Goals

Our kennel is registered at the Dutch Kennel club "Raad van beheer'', we are also members of the Dutch Akita Club " Nederlandse vereniging voor Akita inu's ''. Breeding is done strictly according to their rules. Next to relevant breed standards, we strive to breed Akitas with a good temper, while being true to the Akita. Our dogs are tested on Hips (HD) , Eyes ( ECVO), Knees ( Patella ), DNA and Diversity. Since this year a new test has been developed that focuses Amelogenesis Imperfecta, a deviation of the enemal that can occur in baby and adult teeth. Together with aforementioned tests, we hope to improve our breed in terms of health and increased diversity.

Amelogenesis Imperfecta
Amelogenesis imperfecta or familial enamel hypoplasia (FEH) is an inherited condition of tooth enamel malformation. It is caused by a mutation in the ENAM or ACP4 gene which disrupts the production of Enamelin, an important component of tooth enamel. Affected animals have slim, pointed teeth with thin brown tooth enamel. Despite this condition the teeth do not seem to be more susceptible for dental cavities.
