Our beautiful girl, Journey, represents the third generation from our beloved foundation bitches, Lacey & Annie. She is the granddaughter of both of them. Journey's breeders are our dear friends, Brad and Elizabeth Fulghum. They bought their first Akita, Tasha from us in 2003. Later they added "Kitti" from one of our litters (Rusty/Lacey) and established their kennel, Legend Akitas.
When Kitti had her first litter, the Fulghums knew that we had experienced a discouraging year and a half of several failed breedings. They graciously allowed us to have the first pick puppy. We picked the gorgeous white female puppy and named her "Journey" Her registered name is Legend-ET's Don't Stop Believin'.
Journey's debut into the show world began at the Flagstaff Kennel Club show in June of 2010 when she was 8 months old. She had only been to 3 conformation training classes with our handler, Ginny Maese. She made us proud by winning Best Akita Puppy, group 3 in the puppy Working Group and Reserve winner both days. Watch for Journey in the Fall shows 2010.
Thank you, Brad & Elizabeth for allowing us to add this exquisite girl to our kennel. We know you will be as excited as we will be when Journey presents us with the fourth generation of puppies from their Great Grandmothers, Ch. Annie & Ch.Lacey.
