(Monumental Akitas)

Several years ago our good friend Cornelius Campbell showed up at a match with his new puppy from Northland Akitas, Meow. One look at this girl and I instantly fell in love. I just KNEW I'd have a puppy from her someday. Then one day while talking to Pat Mills of Skipjack Akitas she told me she had just come home from doing a breeding with her dog Tex, and Meow. I immediately hung up from Pat and called Cornelius to place my "order" for a puppy from this breeding. Keeper was my choice in this litter-however when it came time for these puppies to go to their new homes-Cornelius called and said he really wanted to keep this puppy for himself. After LOTS of discussion he finally agreed to let me have this special girl who would be forever named "Keeper" as we both wanted to "Keep Her".
Her very first time in the show ring she took a Best In All Breed Match-with an entry of well over 100 dogs.

She quickly and easily attained her Championship with three majors, going out by taking a very impressive Breed win over several specials. We continued to special her on a very limited basis over the next couple of months, she quickly rose to the 2 spot for bitches in breed points, and number 14 overall. Her success was interrupted when one day into a false pregnancy our friend, Pat Mill's, Bernese Mountain dog died during a C-Section-we offered these puppies to Keeper who was only too eager to surrogate for them. She produced milk and fed them (although not enough to sustain all of them requiring Pat's assistance to hand feed also). Keeper raised this litter until they were weaned and came back home to us-blowing coat and far too late in the year to regain and recover the standings she had so quickly earned just a few months before.
Keeper has never met a person she did not love and want to go home and live with.
To date she has produced three Champions for us: Ch Emmy, Ch Cappy and Ch Titan, she will continue to be the foundation reflected in our all of our breeding plans and decisions.
