Alanis, mom
Akita
About Alanis
Alanis came from Ruthdales which is one of my favorite bloodlines. They have been breeding Akitas in England for decades and they are a world famous bloodline producing Akitas that have made their mark in the show rings all over the world. Alanis did very well as a young girl at the dog shows achieving her championship easily and winning Best of Breed multiple times along the way. Alanis is a large female with great movement and balance and a absolutely amazing temperament. She is extremely outgoing and enthusiastic and has never had a bad day in her life. She absolutely loves meeting new people when we go places together.

About Red
Red is a very sweet and happy girl. She is a big girl with a beautiful red coat and a very lovely head. Her mom is Alanis who is also listed on my Good Dog profile. She is out of Alanis's very first litter. Her father is Beast who is a gentle giant owned and bred by a wonderful breeder who has a lovely bloodline of Akitas. Red won her first Major on the first day she had ever been to a dog show. She's a natural show dog but most importantly she has a very sweet and playful temperament. She loves playing with her toys and watching movies.
