This is U-CDX Sunapee Koma-Inu Bara Chiyo Am/Can CDX.  She is a Belle daughter and is loved by Nancy and David Topp.

U-CH Sunapee Koma-Inu Gotta Be Mie.  She's also AKC pointed, and has one leg toward her UKC CD.

Mie shares her home with Chiyo, above.

This is AOM Am/Can Ch Sunapee Koma-Inu Expose, CGC.  Expo was the first show dog for owners Pam & Del Greskowiak.  In her one litter of 5, she produced two champions with a third one pointed.

Expo is a sibling to Sunapee's Ember No Koma-Inu.

Sunapee's Moonlite & Roses as a puppy. Rosie is owned by Hugh Jamieson and is one of the Spenser x Ember kids from the "Lite" litter.

Expo's "kids", sired by Ch. Koma-Inu Keep On Bruin:  Ch. Stargaze Sunapee Voyager, Stargaze Sunapee Titan and Am/Can Ch. Stargaze Sunapee Sputnik

This was Ch. Koma-Inu Sweet Liberty.  Libby had more presence in the ring than any dog I've ever shown.  She is the dam of Mie above.

Sadly, Libby died very unexpectedly at 5-1/2 years old while going into labor for her third litter.

This is Ch. Sunapee Koma-Inu Daydreamer.  She's a sibling of Kosen, Ch. Sunapee's Dansu No Koma-Inu.  Dreamer is still quite the character at 11 years young!

Sad update:  We had to let Dreamer go on her journey  to the bridge.  I know she's leading the barking there now, and greeting her sister and brother gone before her.  3/2/91 - 12/23/02.

Kyrie Moment of Suspense, a Spenser daughter bred by Jim Scholten

This is Bonsai's I'm No Angel, aka Rowdy, owned by Kathy Camp.  Rowdy is another Spenser  daughter who really enjoys agility and obedience!

Our Extended Akita Family

This was Winston, much loved by Pam Greskowiak.  He was Pam's introduction to Akitas, and he is still sadly missed.

And this was Hoover, who despite being bigger than his "mom" Jenifer Glassel, always thought he was a lap dog until he passed away.  He too is still sadly missed.

I'll lend you for a little while

My grandest dog He said.

For you to love while she's alive

And mourn for when she's dead.

It may be one or twenty years,

Or days or months, you see.

But, will you, 'til I take her back,

Take care of her for Me?

She'll bring charms to gladden you,

And should her stay be brief

You'll have treasured memories

As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise she will stay,

Since all from earth return.

But, there are lessons taught on earth

I want this dog to learn.

I've looked the wide world over

In My search for teachers true.

And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes

With trust I've selected you.

Now will you give her your total love?

Nor think the labor vain,

Nor hate Me when I come

To take her back again?

I know you'll give her tenderness

And love will bloom each day.

And for the happiness you've known

Forever grateful stay.

But should I come and call for her

Much sooner than you'd planned

You'll brave the bitter grief that comes

And someday you'll understand.
