So sorry to hear about your loss. I can tell they were very precious to you, and I cant imagine how difficult this was and is for you. Im glad to hear you are still committed to the breed. They just get into your heart and stick!
There is an ACA member club in your area and several akita enthusiasts involved in all aspects of the breed. Maybe they would be good contacts for you.
