Champion
Hoka-Hey’s
Golden Goal
(3 ½ months)
Sheva was as nice a puppy
as we have ever bred, and as much as we looked forward to having Scout
puppies, both Sheva and her sister JonTerry have surpassed all
expectations. Sheva excels in type, soundness, structure and movement. She
has a loving, inquisitive and very mischievous personality – with ATTITUDE - a brilliant red-orange
coat, dark eyes, and lovely angles. Her topline is hard and level, and her
shoulders will remind you what shoulders are supposed to feel like. And her
face… what a face. She has her daddy Scout’s PERFECT AKITA EARS!
We couldn’t ask for anything more. We’ve often speculated how
we would feel if we saw someone else with a girl like Sheva – and how
hard we’d try to get her! She reminds us so much of some of the old
Sachmo girls, which is all we’ve ever wanted. Sheva and her sister
were three quarters good pedigree and one quarter good luck; a litter as
successful as this doesn’t come along very often, no matter how
superior the bloodlines. It’s heartwarming that our years of
developing workable pedigrees and successful dogs both in the show ring and
in the living room, have led to puppies of this undeniable quality. Both
girls have developed so beautifully that we feel we’ve achieved what
we set out to do as breeders many years ago. Sheva is 7th
generation Hoka-Hey breeding!
Sheva went
to her first show at just under a year old; an all breed match, and just
for practice, but with Barb Davis at the end of the lead, Sheva showed her
heart out and had a wonderful time. She also left with a Group 11 from a
very well attended Working Group! Sheva’s happy face and dancing legs
continued to work for her and she soon singled out, arriving at the
Northwest’s only Akita
Specialty in 2008 to win a 4-point major, handled by pal Ingrid Linerud.
Lamps, Sheva’s ‘intended’, won WD/BOW the
same day.
Sheva has definitely made an impression, and has a
growing Northwest fan club! That now
includes one of the all time great Akita judges, Mrs. Christina Hubbell,
who we thank for Sheva’s second major, a BOW bitch major, which finished
her championship. Another well deserved champion for daddy
“Scout”!
SHEVA IS OFA GOOD
