Preserving & Promoting the Akita Inu Breed

 

AKIHO EUROPE is one of the overseas branches of Akita Inu Hozonkai. Established in 1927, it is the default breed registry in Japan—where it has been a designated Natural Monument since 1931—and is dedicated to preserving and promoting the Akita Inu.

Sharing the mission of its HQ in Japan, AKIHO Europe aims to continue this legacy for the European continent. With a rich membership of breeders and regular enthusiasts, it is devoted to preserving the Akita Inu breed for future generations.
