ABOUT US
|
Akamai, in the
Hawaiian language, means 'smart, clever or possessing savoir-faire'. That
is how I truly feel about this wonderful, endearing and misunderstood
breed; the
Rottweiler. They are loving, friendly, outgoing and they are
a trustworthy breed. I registered 'Akamai' as my kennel name with the
Canadian Kennel Club in 1999; that same year we became members of the
Rottweiler Club of Canada.
Together, my dogs and I have learned
the ins and outs of the dog world. Conformation shows and
obedience trials are a regular occurrence for our family.
My
husband, Darcy, has always come along to the shows in Calgary,
and now we are starting to enjoy taking our three young children to some shows too. They
love to see all of the different breeds of dogs - especially the strange
dogs with TAILS!!!

I have always
considered my dogs to be my fur-children, so they have always lived in my
home, with my skin-children. They lay on the couch and on the bed and
they 'Hoover' up all of the crumbs the kids drop on the floor. Because
the dogs live in our home, our litters will be very limited and carefully
planned out. They will also be raised inside our busy house where
socialization is of prime importance.

My main interest lies with obedience
training and trailing and it has been my focus since I began training
with my first dog, a Golden Retriever named Jessie, in 1995. I got hooked. I also got hooked on the Rottweiler while
attending my first set of obedience classes with Jessie. I knew that was
the breed for me, and so the story goes .......... |
Now, you can find me
at most dog shows beside the obedience ring, or waiting to run another of
our puppies through the conformation ring. We have met some great people too and I have made some wonderful
friends along the way. I would like to send out special thanks to
Traci Geremia for all of her help over the years with showing my dogs and
her friendship and to my WONDERFUL trainers from my obedience club Cal-K9 Jackie
Hastie, Pauline Baldwin and Jayne Coneybeare for their excellent guidance and training in the
sport of obedience. Without their help and encouragement I would
not have been able to achieve what I have with my dogs.

Our kennel is still in
it's infancy, but I intend to do the best that I can to preserve this
wonderful breed in the future. All of our dogs will be temperament
tested and receive their health clearances along with numerous titles
before they are ever bred. As of 2006, we have had 2 litters of
puppies, represented in the photo at the right. In the photo is
our foundation bitch,
Jewel
(right),
and a daughter from each of her 2 breedings;
Wicca (middle) and
Seeker. |

We are members of the Canadian Kennel
Club and the Rottweiler Club of Canada
and we adhere to the code of ethics of the clubs with regards to our
breeding practices.
If you have any questions about the
Rottweiler or anything dog related, please feel free to e-mail me and I
will do the best that I can
answer you. And keep checking back for updates, we are always very
busy here and a new title is always just around the corner!
