Moonlight's Que |
Que was an exciting bitch that I finished from the Open class. The judges loved her and placed first or second every time except once (a fourth) and I think the seconds were because she's a white. Judges are seeing more whites now. Unfortunately, she only had one litter and was never able to conceive after that. She was spayed in 1999 and retired with my friend Todd. Que lived to be over 14 years old. |

Moonlight's Flames of Scarlett |
At Ame's first show she won a 5 point major from the Bred-By class at the Region IV Specialty. She finished easily from Bred-By. Ame was the most fantastic Akita, a breeder's dream. Unfortunately, sometimes a breeder's dream turn into a nightmare. I had to say goodbye to my dear girl in June 1998 due to a disease called VKH. Love your companions while they are here, sometimes their time with us is too short. |

Two Sides of Passion |
Sidney gave Scarlett her 10th AKC champion. Her personality was so much like Scarlett's, after Connie passed away she and Scarlett were constantly together until she went to her new home where she lived with a toy dog and another Akita female.

Moonlight's Duke of Hazard |
Luke finished with four majors four point majors, proudly shown only in the Bred-By Class. He was neutered and was my companion until I had to let him go at 10.5 years old because his rear muscles couldn't compensate for his bad hips. He was truly the best and sweetest male Akita I've ever owned. Born on my birthday, I always considered him the best present ever. Luke was a lovely boy, inside and out--and I think his goal in life was to make me happy. I miss his gentleness, his charm and his beautiful head (the face of the Moonlight Akitas logo.) |

Moonlight's Zip Zow Zara |
Zara was a lovely red female. She moved like a dream, effortlessly, due to her balance and correct front and rear. She earned all of her points from the Bred-by Class. Zara was more like a Labrador than an Akita. My precious Zara passed away at five years from tularemia bacteria infection she acquired from an infected rabbit she caught. It affected part of her lung and her heart, my vet removed 1/4 of her affected lung but nothing could be done for the heart. The surgery gave me another ten days with my girl. She was the first Akita that I lost with choosing the moment to say goodbye, but I was with her during her last moments. |
