Happy Birthday to our H-Litter-Akitas
Today we got some happy-birthday-wishes from Ute and Werner. They own Hanko, one of the males of our H-litter, and they are more than happy with their now two-year old American Akita.

At the dog obedience school in Großharthau
American Akitas should be obedience trained by their owner. A good obedience class, perhaps beginning with puppy kindergarten, will guarantee you a firm bond with your Akita and a well behaved dog. Remember, Akitas are extremely intelligent and tend to get bored easily. They learn quickly, so short training periods are suggested. This keeps the dog from becoming bored. Akitas are also very stubborn and when the dog thinks it is a waste of time to "sit" or "stay" one more time, he will simply walk away. So obedience training requires patience.
For almost 10 years we have been regularly attending our local obedience school in Großharthau. Meanwhile there has grown a nice small group of 11 Akitas and American Akitas and their owners, but of course there are other breeds, too. It’s not just a MUST DO for us to go there, we also really enjoy these visits, as we meet friends, learn something new and work with our dogs.
Here we want to show you some impressions of today’s afternoon at our dog school.

Shadow, Jane und Gina in the snow
We are really fed up with these masses of snow which were coming again and again during the last weeks. But not our Akitas. They are so enthusiastic about that snow as you can see in the pictures which we took this afternoon when walking through the wood near Großhartau.

Happy Birthday Jane
Six years gone by,
How time has flown,
We can't believe
how Jane's grown!
She's such a joy
and so much fun,
Oh Jane, you're
the only ONE.

Knee-deep in snow
As there is plenty of snow at the moment it is not quite easy to find a good way for a walk in and around Ohorn. Many hiking trails are just not walkable now. There are a few comfortable paths in the Luchsenburg forest near Ohorn. But as there were many skiers and Sunday walkers today we slogged through the undergrowth and sometimes had to wade through 50 centimetres deep powder snow.

Christmas tour on the Picho
We traditionally go for a walk with a little group of Akitas and their owners on Boxing Day. This year we climbed the Picho, a big hill in the mountainous country of Lusatia. Unfortunately, there was no snow anymore but we had some great sunny walking-weather.
Having some exercise in fresh air was delightful for all of us. As usual we want to show you some pics of that day.
