TAISHO CELTIC MOON (OKI) – Japanese Akita. Dec 1997 - Sep 2008
We decided on an Akita when we were informed that the Malamute waiting lists were approx 3 years.
Oki picked us and stole our hearts. He was one of 3 pups left from a litter and he sat next to Terry’s
foot and did not move until he decided he required to relieve himself in the garden and then went promptly to bed.
From the start we knew he was very independent!!
He was a show stopper and cars would stop for people to question us about him. Many told us afterwards that
we should have shown him as he was a fine specimen.
Oki was a dominant dog that required a lot of time and a great deal of patience to be obedience trained. Trained to advanced level he will always be our best and
special boy. Regularly he showed Anuka his strength and speed by running at her on our beach escapades. She then used us as a barrier to ward him off.
Daily he loved to sit at our window, surveying the land outside, and positioned
himself to be ready to bark at
any unsuspecting caller.
He will be missed and in our daily thoughts for a lifetime to come.
Sleep well faithful friend.
