ABOUT US
Kentucky, Gimi, Ike and me |
Welcome to our website of the breeding kennel PEARL RIVER,
which is dedicated to the American Akita breed and to our
incredible Alaskan malamute.
We have worked with the American Akita breed for more
than 16 years. We acquired our first Akita in 1994 from the
breeder Ing. Hana Blatonova, a consultant for the American
Akita breed. His name was Cedrik Imperial Jakobin CS. For us,
he was Sandy, and thanks to him we fell in love with the Akita.
At the time, the American Akita not acknowledged as an Akita
breed, because it did not meet new standards (you can learn in
more detail on our webpage STANDARD) and so we couldn’t attend
dog shows until Sandy was 8 years of age; an age when most show
dogs run in the veteran class. At his age, he won among young
dogs. After a short time span, he became a champion. His whole
life, he was a great companion, not just for people, but for
all animals, as shown by photos in the photo album. Sandy
accompanied me on most of my nature outings, and to work as
well. We ran many rivers together and climbed many mountains.
He liked to pull. He liked to canicross, and he helped carry,
not only his stuff, but even mine when it was needed. He was
a part of my life, and taught me a lot.
From the litter, with Polish female Ch. Jowa Jasmin, we
kept Gimini, for us Gimi. Then we expanded our Akita family
with female Alchemist Dream Kentucky Pearl. For us she was
Kentucky, Kenty for short. I brought her to the Czech Republic
from my long stay in the United States , directly from breeder
Alchemist Akitas from Kentucky. Next in our family expansion
was Torazo’s Pearl Ike Warrior, called Ike, from breeder
Torazo’s Akita, also from Kentucky. And finally, our latest
addition to our pack is Torazo’s FyreProof Pearl Mitchell,
nicknamed Miska, also from Torazo’s Akita like Ike. We would
like to thank Gabriele Lynch from Kentucky , for her help and
unending kindness. You may become more acquainted with these
dogs on our website.
Our dogs are a part of our family. None of them have
ever met a life in a cage. They are fed with super premium and
ultra premium feed.
I am a zoologist and ethologic graduate, specialized in
wolves and other canines. I have spent a lot of time of my
life with the observation of wolves and other canines, since
childhood (I had a German Shepard at age 7) and years of
experience with the Akita, which taught me that it is essential
to respect these dogs for their complex and strong characteris-
tics. I have encountered many American Akitas, and each was
characteristically completely different. They do, however, have
in common their individualistic thinking and decision-making.
It is very hard to understand them, but once you succeed, you
will never want a different dog… :)
