We were so looking forward to attending the annual Rocky Mountain Akita Club Specialties. Unfortunately Crimson blew her coat and Wenny couldn't make it last minute due to an emergency and conflicts. So we made the difficult decision of sending Michael and our baby girl Kush for the first two days hoping to warm her up for upcoming shows.

 

Piloted by her newest friend, and awesome handler the very talented Matheus, Kush made us so proud by going through her ring routines with confidence and sophistication. Together they won Winners Bitch and Best of Winners at the PM Specialty and Reserve the next day.

OKC summer classic has always been on our bucket list due to the very large entries and top competition. This year it drew over 1,700 entries and majors everyday in bitches for Akitas!

​

We are so proud of our two girls , our puppy Sativa (out of coat) and Newest Special Crimson both showing well against some excellent competition. Sativa was awarded Winners Bitch w/ Major and Bred By Group 4th. CH Crimson was awarded 2 Select Bitch and 1 BOS & OH BOB.

After showing our male specials for a few years, we are so excited to bring out Aces-Up's next special: Crimson!

​

The first time out as a special, she took all 3 Brest of Breed and placed in the owner handler group (G2/G4/G4) every time she had the opportunity.

​

Crimson had a great start in her career as a young puppy winning Winners Bitch, Award of Excellence and Puppy & Junior Sweepstakes Working Group 3rd the first time she went to a dog show. We are looking forward to seeing her continuing to shine as a special. 

Whenever we go to the Fort Worth specialties, we totally expect tough competition and large entries. This year was no exception where 13 beautiful specials, 12 class bitches and 2 class dogs were presented!

​

Our main goal for this show was letting our baby Sativa have fun at her first show. And she did!

​

Her mom, Indica, won Best Veteran in Sweepstakes at the specialty the first time out after retiring 3 years ago. Her cousin, Quinn, with little coat brought home a much appreciated Award of Merit.

Entered for 3 days out of 4 at the Denver shows, Quinn (BISS GCH Aces-Up You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet) took Best of Breed all 3 days.

 

In the meantime, Crimson won 2 straight Winners Bitch to finish her championship. She also won Bred By G2 and G4 both days.

At our first dog show in 2025, Denver CO, Crimson won 2 straight Winners Bitch to finish her championship! We kept her in the class to keep the point for other exhibitors. She also took Bred By G2 and G4 both days.

​

Although Crimson was still recovering from her shoulder injury from the Orlando trip, she certainly tried hard to get the job done!
