Futago Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Naomi R., the breeder behind Futago Kennels located in Ashley, OH. All of our dogs are loved as family members. We cherish our puppies from birth up until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours! Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since!

Nezuko, mom
Japanese Akitainu
About Nezuko
Nezuko is our foundation female and was bred by Shiranui Kennels. She is a bundle of energy who enjoys being kept busy and doing everything with us. We love her stable temperament and willingness to try new things, meet new people, and show off. As our first true show dog, we are learning a lot together as we began our journey of showing in the UKC conformation ring, and it helps that Nezuko has such a lovely temperament and is appropriately focused on the handler or the task we ask of her. Nezuko is currently taking classes in dock diving, nosework, and weight pull but also enjoys bike joring and practicing for Trick Dog. She also loves Fast CAT and Frisbee challenges. Her favorite thing to do is offer air plane ears to everyone she meets and show off toys and bones to guests. Nezuko is named after a character from “Kimetsu no Yaiba”.
