What is your Akita Performance Brag for April?


Earlier in April Louise Davie's CAGE SeaIsland's Ghost Ryder earned the last 2 legs to complete his CARO Rally Novice Title and earned two legs in his Rally Novice Team Scores were 186/200 and 196/200 (also high in class)

What an awesome memory for Billy and Otis!!

Shingen-sama had a good weekend down at Canine Headquarters in Hutto. We FINALLY got the last leg of our Superior vehicles, finishing out his full Superior titles and we finished our Masters Exterior title. We almost got an Elite Exterior but there was some significant handler error.
Cheyenne had another perfect weekend!
she really finished her PACH this time by earning 3 QQ's and 59 speed points! including one 1st placement, three 2nd placements, one 3rd placement, and one 4th placement!
she now has 5 QQ's and 58 speed points towards PACH2!!!
and she only needs 293 speed points to Qualify for Nationals!!!
