She found a breeder and promised she was going to just "look" at the puppies. Two hours later she returned home with Denali, a AKC registered purebred Akita. A few weeks later an opportunity came up for Quentin and Jennifer to spend 6 weeks in Costa Rica with Jennifers Parents. This would not be a good time to leave a puppy behind with strangers. Jennifer traded him to another Akita loving breeder in exchange for<br />one of Denali's puppies when the timing was better. We still see Denali and remain friends with his owners while Yukon, Denali's baby, is a beloved member of our family about to become a mother herself this summer.<br /><br />The top picture is Quentin and Yukon last fall.<br />The middle picture is Yukon as a puppy.<br />The last picture is Quentin and Denali in the winter of '03.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14008759-111991659941803332?l=akitayukondog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>KJQHallquisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929082768875969977noreply@blogger.com0
