Kireina Takara - Akita kennel

09/07/2025

My path as an Akita breeder is not just a passion - it’s a lifelong devotion.
Every choice I make is guided by respect for the breed, a deep understanding of its legacy, and an unshakable commitment to health, character, and purpose.

I do not breed for trends, applause, or approval. I breed for integrity - for the future of this noble breed that has given me so much.
Each litter is the result of careful thought, sacrifice, and a heart that never forgets why I started.

Yes, there are those who speak lies - who twist truths and invent stories to serve their own insecurities. Let them. My focus is, and will always remain, on the dogs. On truth. On walking the path I believe in, even when it’s lonely or hard.

I don’t answer to whispers and gossip. I answer to the lives I bring into this world, and to the legacy I will one day leave behind. That is what matters.

This is what Kireina Takara stands for.

I usually don’t repeat litters, but I gladly make an exception for Takagorou Go Kireina Takara & Q-Shodai No Urumi Go Kireina Takara, who gave me gorgeous brindle and red babies in 2022.

We expect brindle and red puppies at the end of November 2024 (no long coats, as Takagorou is not a carrier). Pregnancy is confirmed & 6 puppies are expected according to the X-ray.

Both parents are health tested with following results:
- HD-A
- ED 0/0
- Patella 0/0
- Eyes clear
- Amelogenesis imperfecta N/N (non-carriers)

Mating based on genetic diversity.

Judge: Mr. Van Hummelen

Sad that people pay enteryfee under a certain judge, to learn as soon as you arrive that the judge changed to someone I would never enter my dogs under, and it shows why. I would rather have stayed in my bed. Luckily, I know well enough what I’m taking home, without incapable people telling me otherwise. 😂 I don’t expect allrounders to truely comprehend breedtype, but I do expect every single judge to understand basic anatomy and correct structure/movement. Apparently even that is too much to ask from some of them.

Thank you for your “expert” opinion, Mr. Van Hummelen. 🙃

Congratulations to all winners, tho!
