CH Ben x CH Queen Puppies

3 Males and 2 Females - Born November 22, 2008
Co-bred by: Christina M. Stanley,  Miguel Ramos and Ruth Winston

Special thanks to Ruth Winston, CH Tobe's Return of the Jedai's owner, for allowing me the honor of using the frozen semen of the amazing Akita.  Ben is the only Akita that I've ever had the honor of seeing in person that gave me chills as he moved around the ring.  He was a SHOW DOG, that worked the crowd and loved performing for the judges and spectators.  Ben defined the Akita standard, and won twenty-seven all-breed Best in Shows, three national specialties and more than 100 Groups, plus more Best of Breed wins at Westminster than any other Akita..  

The semen used was stored in 1992 and 1995 by Clone, Inc. and George Govette determined when Queen was ready to be bred and did the procedure nonsurgically.  Two days after the TAIs, Queen showed at the 2008 national and won the first bitch Award of Merit.

Puppies are pictured below at four weeks old

Collar Male
He appears to be a shaded black, probably will be a silver with black overlay.  His ear is flipped up...its very normal

Diamond Male
He is currently solid black, but in these photos I can see some brindle--time will tell

Flashy Male
He appears solid black at this time.  I hope he ends up a solid color instead of brindle because he has so much white

Solid Female
She appears to be a shaded black, probably will be a mahogany with black overlay--but its just a guess.  

Flashy Female
She appears to be black, she will probably be a black brindle.  She was the first one out of the box.
