Tasha is our beautiful daughter of "Ember", making her grand-daughter of our "Ch Baelor" and great grand-daughter of our handsome boy "Ch Caeson". Ember was our only daughter of our handsome Baelor, and so our last link back to him and Caeson, we knew when choosing a suitor for Ember, that he had to be special, something that we believe carried the same type and values in an Akita that we had in our own. We went to the drawing board, and every time, came back to the same dog. Having seen what this boy produced to our own "Whitewreath Wat Goes Around with Mabushii" - resulting in our stunning brindle beauty "Phoenix" we felt sure that there simply was no other match we could consider at the time for this special girl. We weren't dissapointed. Ch Minioso's Stripes of Glory (Dexter) - and he really is glorious! Amazing type, beautiful head, small ears, excellent bone, tight cat like feet, stunning coat type and texture and a good mover, he complimented so many of Embers qualities, and improved in the area's where we felt were required.
The results from this combination were breath taking. We were thrilled with the quality and type of the entire litter, so consistent. Temperaments were just to die for, and the breed type was just what we had hoped for, and more! Which made choosing our keeper extremely hard. We knew that a male from this breeding probably wouldn't help us going forward with our breeding program, however could take us places in the show scene, but we had to be realistic and if possible, take the best of both worlds and keep a bitch that could show well for us, and also continue into the next generation of Whitewreath type. After many weeks we finally made our final choice, and doubled our chances and kept 2 sisters, and we are so pleased that we did. Our Tasha is the most striking young puppy, who for her young age already shows great promise, full of breed type, she's stylish and best of all has the most outgoing, loving and care free temperament. She has good bone, lovely feet, a beautiful typy head, strong yet feminine, small thick ears, her dads amazing coat and a beautiful tail set with lovely rear angulation. At this tender age, we have to say we are very excited to see how Tasha matures over the next year or so.
Tasha had a steady start to her puppy career, placing well every time out. She qualified for Crufts 2022 and 2023 with ease, she then took time out to mature and change coat. We look forward to getting Tasha back out during the 2023 show season, she has matured beautifully. Such a sound young bitch with a lot to like, her future is bright. |
