Luxemburg, France, Poland, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Great Britain, Czech Republic, Russia, Ukraine etc. I was also asked to give seminars on the Akita and on the Eurasier for breeders and judges. For this purpose I travelled to the UK and to Calgary, Canada. In 2009, my first book on the breed Akita was published in Germany. The book was translated into English in 2011 and into Russian in 2012. It deals with the origin, breeding, rearing and owning of the Akita. I am also co-author of two Akita story books published in 2003 and 2015 in Germany. It is my main target as a breeder to breed a well-tempered, healthy Akita that

complies with the current standard and thanks to being brought up in our home will be able to cope with every family situation, to become a lifelong faithful companion. The decision to become an Akita breeder made me found Akita Rescue (Akita in Not) in Germany. I wanted to make sure that every Akita in Need would get our attention and support to either solve a problem with the owner or find a new home for them.
In my role as a judge I challenge myself to find the best representatives of the breed as to breed standard, anatomy and temperament in combination with harmony with the handler. At the same time I try to create a trustful basis with handler/owner and the dogs to enable them to present themselves in the best possible way. As the Akita has always been my breed, I enjoy very much pursuing those aims.
As an author and dog trainer it is my foremost goal to optimize the communication between the Akita and his owner to become the perfect team in order to master any situation at home and outside.
