Akiko winning 2nd place at Dortmund International
May 2014
Tokaloshi and Kiko both did very well at the Japan Kennel Club show in Hamm and the Dortmund International show. Tokaloshi came 3rd in Open Dog at the JKC show and Kiko got a 2nd place at Dortmund International.
Just to prove that he's not just a pretty face, Tokaloshi then followed this up the following weekend with a very respectable 4th Place in a class of 37 dogs in the Novice class at Culverstone Obedience show the following weekend. A very promising start to the Obedience season and hopefully a sign of things to come later in the season.
We are now concentrating on the obedience scene over the summer and wish all the best to our showing friends and look forward to seeing you all again in the autumn.

March 2014
The XNRG Cotswold Challenge was the last ultra-marathon of the season for us (as it's too hot to run ultras with the dogs through the summer). Yet again a fantastic event, well organised and a lovely route and well supported with aid stations at regular intervals.
We had a great time, and appreciated that there was less mud on the course than the Pilgrim Challenge.

February 2014
Tokaloshi and Kiko completed the Pilgrim Challenge in very muddy conditions. We even had to add a bit of extra mileage as the river burst it's bank the morning of the race, the first few competitors had to swim to the bridge in order to cross! They both did very well and seemed much more lively than the humans the next day! It was my first Ultra but the second Ultra for the dogs. Our next Ultra is the Cotswold Challenge, also run by XNRG who did a fantastic job of organising this event! |
Kiko is also doing well at Agility achieving a 6th place at Pacesham show. |
May 2013

Crufts 2013
Well, what a busy Crufts we had this year. Tokaloshi, Kiko and Megami represented the Japanese Akita Inu on the Discover Dogs stand on the Thursday and Saturday. We had a good time and the dogs were beautifully well behaved, meeting and being stroked by lots of people on both days.
Friday was both the Canicross Demo that they both raced in, and the breed showing day. Tokaloshi excelled himself with a win in Postgraduate Dog just 30 minutes after finishing the canicross demo. Kiko was awarded 4th in a class of 6 dogs in Post Graduate Bitch. So a great set of results all round!
The You Tube video of the Canicross Demo is below, we were the last runners on the white team.

Competitive Agility Debut - 6th January 2013
To start off 2013 Tokaloshi and Akiko both competed at their first agility show at Pacesham Agility Show. They both did amazingly well considering that they've never been to an agility show before and it's very different environment with a lot of excited dogs and rushing around.
Akiko achieved a 7th place in the Jumping class (over 35 dogs in the class) and a very respectable 5 faults in the Steeplechase class. She would have gone clear in her agility class if it wasn't for very silly handling error on my part which sent her under one of the jumps.
Tokaloshi was also great, a bit distracted in his first jumping round unfortunately. His steeplechase round was fantastic, he was so quick and accurate that I got left in completely the wrong position and pulled him off course for an elimination. The rest of the round was perfect though!
Hopefully in the future I can remember to handle better and hopefully we can continue to have fund and be successful.

Akita Cup - September 2012
A fantastic result from both Tokaloshi and Akiko at the Akita Cup, both coming 3rd in their large classess against many dogs from all over Europe.
Both of the dogs were fascinated by the goats climbing around the hill next to the showground! Congratulations also to Pete and Maureen for their two second places! A great result for all! |
