2020 and Life with COVID-19......

  • As 2020 brought in the New Year, we felt it brought with it, New Hopes and Dreams.
    Unfortunately, so far it has only brought us heart ache. In January, Our stunning, vibrant and happy boy, Ch Whitewreath's Carbon Copy passed away, long before his time, and still in his prime. His loss has left us all, as a team, devastated. Baelor, or Puppy Boy as he was more lovingly known by many had an outstanding career as a showman from being awarded the title of Top Male Puppy of 2014 to finishing 2016 as the Number 2 Male. He amassed a breath taking 11 CC's and 13 Res CC's from his show career. He also was a lovely producer, although only used on a limited number of quality females, his offspring were truly beautiful. He leaves behind, his daughter Ember, who we hope will carry on his legacy into the future. It is at this point we feel we should thank his handler & show time Mummy Lisa Bridges for all of her hard work and dedication shown to Bae throughout his life, and for being 'his human'. We are so grateful you could be with us as we said our goodbyes. Until we meet again Puppy Boy, go play with your Papa Bear and wait for us at the bridge son.

    You may think that we are defeated, and ready to give in... But we are not! We are strong and we will move forward. We have some beautiful females going forward to the futrure with some exciting plans in place. We also have semen stored from both of our champion boys and will use this in the coming years on select females. Its not over, until its over! We are battered, we are bruised - But together we are strong!

  • Following on from the Nationals, Heartbreak hit the Whitewreath camp, Our young super-star Travis passed away on the 14th May. Myself, Hollie, Our Pilot Lisa and Travis' Breeder Jill were left utterly distraught by his all too soon passing. We attended the SKC and Scottish Club Show the following weekend with broken hearts and placed 1st in Junior Bitch with kennel mate Phoenix at SKC and 2nd in Open Dog with Travis' Dad - Baelor at the Club Show - but our hearts weren't in it and we left before judging finished... We would like to thank all for their love and support on the day, it went a great deal to helping ease our pain.

    And just when we felt that we were coming to terms with the loss of our special boy, Our world came crashing down again, this time on the 6th June - Our stunning boy, the King of the Whitewreath Empire - Champion Caeson - passed away in my arms aged 10 years. And we have never felt a loss so deeply, marred by the sudden loss of his grandson Travis, we were thrown into the most dark and unimaginable place with the grief of losing my soulmate Caeson. I'm sure most of you will know how much he meant to me, and the kind of relationship Caeson and I shared - A Love Like No Other. He was a dog in a lifetime, and a lifetime would never have been long enough with this special boy.



    So here we celebrate our treasured boys, and give thanks for all they left behind....

  • We start 2018 with lots of exciting news for our kennel. Firstly we would like to welcome to Team Whitewreath, our Co-Breeder and Fellow 'Ground-Crew' Hollie Murray (formally Mabushii). Hollie and myself have been very close friends for more than 10 years now, I have watched her breedings with great interest and in more recent years helped with putting breedings together, even bringing a Mabushii puppy back to Whitewreath "Taylor". Hollie and I find we are going in the same direction, breeding wise and like the same type, also Hollie has many Whitewreath dogs over the years. I found myself leaning on Hollie for support over the years and go to her with new idea's for her opinion, so for many years I'd say she's been a silent partner of the affix. But for 2018 we decided to join forces and be 'Together Stronger' in our quest to produce a Whitewreath type. So we would like to officially welcome Hollie to the team!

    Also fresh for 2018 is some fabulous news that Whitewreaths Wat Goes Around with Mabushii (Karma) who is litter sister to Ch Whitewreaths Carbon Copy has been confirmed in whelp to the UK's Top Winning brindle Ch Minioso's Stripes Of Glory, We expect great type from these two beautiful Akitas and look forward to welcoming new additions very soon. We would like to thank Lisa, Colin & Colleen for allowing us to use her fabulous boy, he's a dog we have admired for a long time.

    We would also like to Congratulate fellow breeder and friend, Jill Hopkins (Travistock Akitas) who have just recieved a confirmation of pregnancy with her girl Ch Travistock Kiacis to our home bred by, Ch Whitewreaths Carbon Copy. Congratulations Jill, we look forward to seeing the babies.

  • At Blackpool under Judge Bert Easdon, Bae took his 6th Reserve CC, this time from the Limit Dog class.
  • Three Counties 2015, Bae's 2nd show of the year and following on from his success at Crufts he once again took the RCC (his 5th) behind the same Best Dog from Crufts. This time under breed specialist Mr Stephen Rann. Handled as always by his best friend, Lisa Bridges.
  • We started 2015 at Crufts with our boy Whitewreath's Carbon Copy, entering into his junior career we went expecting nothing and came away delighted. Not only did Baelor take 1st in Junior Dog but he was also awarded the Reserve CC (his 4th) under Judge Mrs Lorraine Webb. We can not thank our judge enough for this achievement on such a young boy. Here is the super write up given by Mrs Webb...

    'Iason's Whitewreath Carbon Copy, to recieve the RCC at Crufts is certainly a cereer changing moment for any exhibit, but at this level & in this company it is even more significant but I am sure he is more than capable of carrying this honour & even emulating it in the future. I was quite taken aback by the amount of Akita breed type & quality that has been acquired for an exhibit in this classification, particularly in a large breed where development has to be monitored carefully. He makes an impact instantly, presenting a body shape that is so pleasing to the eye & complimentary to the standard. With first class presentation that takes advantage of a coat that is plush & standing off with a feel of mink, he is just as impressive on closer inspection, making hands on a limited exercise. His head qualities show masculinity with evident strength from well developed cheeks to compliment his muzzle to skull ratio, his well set eyes present a most friendly expression & accompanied by a very pleasant ear set. His construction is sound throughout showing the moderation to angles & articulation front & rear, precise handling on the move produced a very impressive side gait & inline movement showing no deviations. I envisage him being around quite a while. A most worthy RCC - Mrs L Webb'
