I saw my first Akita at Obedience School.  That's when I fell in love with the breed.

We bought our first Akita in 1985 and took him to class.  There he received his CD at 14 months old.

In 1986 we bought a beautiful red puppy bitch, Arlberg's Shami Ann's Valentine.

Our first show with her was a specialty in Niagara Falls,  where she took BOS in puppy sweeps and then went

on to take  WB and BOW.  We were hooked.  She became the foundation for our Kennel.

Our breeding program is devoted to breeding sound dogs with good temperaments and correct conformation.

All dogs are guaranteed at Shamar Kennels.

 

We would like to give our mentors and good friends, John & Ann Gauthier of  Alberg Akita's a very warm thank you

for starting us off in this breed and for their friendship through out  the years.  We wouldn't be where we are today without you.

 I  would also like to give a special thank you to Sherry & Vince Borgia of Sherakan Reg'd Siberians for designing my web site. 

We hope you enjoy our home on the web.
