My passion for animals, especially dogs, has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

Since childhood, I have dreamed of becoming a dog breeder—not simply to produce dogs, but to breed with passion, respect, responsibility, and a deep commitment to preserving and improving the breed.

I started breeding dogs in 2006, and in 2011, my life changed when I discovered the American Akita. Seeing these magnificent dogs at shows, I immediately fell in love with the breed. That was the beginning of my American Akita journey—a journey that has now lasted more than 15 years.

From the very beginning, I understood that responsible breeding cannot be done alone. We have always believed in learning from, supporting, and working closely with other serious and responsible breeders who share the same passion and vision.

In 2016, we began working with the world-famous Ruthdales Akitas, owned by Matthew Bostock and Janet Armstrong. What started as a collaboration gradually developed into a very close partnership. Today, we work together as joint kennels, sharing a common breeding program, our knowledge, our dogs, our successes, and, most importantly, the same vision for the future of the American Akita.

Our journey has brought us remarkable results on both the national and international stage. Among our most important achievements are:

* Minor Puppy European Winner – 2016

* Junior World Winner – 2018

* Puppy European Winner – 2019

* #1 Dog All Breeds in Romania – 2019

* World Winner – 2021

* Minor Puppy World Winner – 2021

* Minor Puppy European Winner – 2022

* Puppy European Winner – 2022

* Junior European Winner – 2022, winning both 1st and 2nd place in the Junior class

* Best of Winners – American Akita Nationals, USA

* Minor Puppy European Winners – 2023, Male and Female

* Veteran European Winner – 2024

* European Winner – 2024, Best Male

* Vice European Winner – 2024, Reserve Best Female

* Junior European Winner – 2024, winning both 1st and 2nd place in the Junior Female class

* Veteran World Winner – 2024

* Reserve Challenge Certificate at Crufts – 2025

* Best Puppy at Crufts – 2026

* Best of Breed at Crufts – 2026

These achievements are a source of immense pride, but for us, the titles are not the final goal. Every award represents years of planning, studying pedigrees, making difficult breeding decisions, raising puppies, travelling, learning from successes and failures, and constantly striving to improve.

For me, breeding is not simply about winning shows. It is about building a legacy.

Our goal is to produce American Akitas that represent the breed with strength, type, temperament, structure, health, and character, while respecting its history and protecting its future.

I am incredibly proud of everything we have accomplished together so far. At the same time, I believe that our greatest achievements may still be ahead of us.

We will continue to work with passion, honesty, and respect for the breed and for the people who have helped us along the way.

Our journey continues—and our ambition is not only to win more, but to leave a lasting and meaningful footprint on the American Akita breed.
