Intro

Welcome at our AMERICAN-AKITA website.

When I met Jan in 1989 he had 2 Akita's from the American type and it all started with them, Maras and Maru, their names has ledd to my kennelname: Mara-shimas.

Our son Jaimy, who was born 7th May in 1990 was raised between our Akitas.

In 1997 we moved back to Holland and stopped with the Akitas and went on with our Shibas, in which we are until today very succesfull. 7 Mara-shimas became Worldchampion and more than 20 homebred Shibas are national and/or International champion. We are extremly proud of our accomplishment in the breed and hope to do the same with the AA.

In 2002 Target came into our lifes, unfortunatly she cannot have puppies, but is just or beloved pet and helps raising the Shiba's with their pups. In 2004 Addy and Dealer came to us, at the gallery page you can read more about them. Enjoy!!
