Akirene
is the partnership of Aki (also known as Bud),
Irene and Rod,
their youngest of four
children.
Through the years, a number of
family members would become
involved
and contribute to the success of the
breeding program at Akirene.
In 1968, the Oishi family
would move to a new home on 10 acres
in Maple
Ridge, a suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada.
The property would be
purchased with the original intent to become Aki's "hobby
farm";
however it would soon be
transformed into a "Hobby
Kennel" for Irene and Rod.
Akirene's beginnings
would be comparable to that of many
breeders.
It would begin with a purchase of a pet
puppy in 1968.
A pure for sable puppy
bitch, descending from the Timberidge
line
would be purchased
from Irene's brother & his wife, Chester and Sharon Rauhaula.
The puppy would be a
gift for their eldest son, Wade.
She would be called "Tia"
and registered as
Tia Lass of Chesray
'Tia'
would be purchased with a condition of a "puppy back",
thus a breeding would
be made locally to a son of
Am Can
Ch Banchory High Born ROM/ROMC
(Ch
Philidove Heir Presumptive ROM
ex
Tiree Hall Solo's High-Lite)
The resulting litter would include a
fully marked, dark mahogany sable male.
Irene would convince Aki
that this puppy should be
kept
as his "farm dog"; to help out on his "hobby farm."
Although the intention would
never to be involved
further in breeding
or even
showing, the Oishi's would
receive many compliments
that this sheltie certainly looked like a "Champion Show
Dog".
The Oishi's were encouraged to
enter a dog show to see how he might
do!
Irene
would enter their first
homebred in
a set of 3 All-Breed
shows.
Surprisingly enough, he would complete his
championship
breeder/owner handled in one weekend with 3 five point wins!
He would officially
become Akirene's first Champion and known as
Can Ch Akirene's
Diplomat Am Can CD
Needless to say, life would never be quite the same
for the Oishi family or Aki's 'hobby farm'!
Can
Ch Akirene's Diplomat
would never be used as a
stud, however his dam
Tia Lass Of Chesray
would produce two more
litters. Her descendants would
include
over 100 American
Champions
including:

of Akirene
please click

While success would be found
with their initial
sables,
Irene's eye would be drawn
towards the tricolors of the
breed.
A search would begin to
purchase a top quality tricolour
bitch
to serve as the
foundation for Akirene.
During this time
period, Specialty wins in the Pacific
Northwest
were consistently awarded to the beautiful
tricolors
and blue merles of a
Kennel located in Portland, Oregon.
The
breeder's name would be Mrs. Donna Olson
(formerly Donna Langness, later Donna
Tidswell and finally Donna
Harden),
The kennel would be known
as the
infamous
B a n c
h o r y .
Banchory Shelties would capture
attention
with their substance in
bone, attention to detail of
skull,
but above all, elegance with an incomparable sense of
presence!
Akirene would find its foundation in a combination of
Am Can
Ch Banchory High Born ROM/ROMC
and
Am Can
Ch Cherden Sock It To 'Em CD ROM/ROMC
An
advertisement within the breed
publication
"The Sheltie Special" would draw the attention of
Irene.
She would be born
on June 20, 1972
Her sire would be
Banchory Black Gold
(Am Can Ch Banchory
High Born ROM/ROMC ex Banchory Silver
Fanfare)
while her dam would be the very
lovely
Am Can Ch Banchory Sugar Blue
(Am Can Ch Cherden Sock It
To Em ROM/ROMC ex Banchory Pamper of
Maywood)
She would become known as the
Specialty winning . . .
Can Ch Banchory The Black Rose
CD (3 pt major)
Easily completing her Canadian
title,
she would also be
awarded Best Opposite Sex at the
1975 SSC of BC Specialty under Breeder-Judge Ariel Sleeth.
She would be awarded an American 3
point major with numerous Major
Reserves.
While worthy of an American
title, one obstacle would prevent its
completion.
The familiar words, "If she only had
more coat!"
would be heard time and time again from the
judges.
Lack of coat would result from heat
cycles
occurring every 4
months, followed by a complete change of
coat.
As a result, she would rarely carry
a full coat for any period of time.
Her mark on the
breed would not be made within the Conformation
Ring,
but rather within the
pedigrees, as a
producer and contributor to many of today's shelties.
The first litter produced
from
Can Ch Banchory The Black Rose
CD
would be sired by her maternal
grandsire,
Am Can Ch Cherden Sock It To 'Em CD
ROM/ROMC
Their litter would consist of six
tricolours, including 3 colour headed
whites!
A tricolour daughter would be
kept and registered as
Akirene's Carmengay Rose
At her first outing she would be
awarded
Best In Sweepstakes, Reserve Winners Bitch & Best Puppy In
Breed
at the 1975 SSC of BC Specialty under Breeder-Judge Ariel Sleeth.
Two littermates would achieve titles
in obedience!
OT Ch Akirene's Tina Rose
UD
(UD completed at just 11 months of
age!)
and
Akirene's
Cherokee Rose CDX
Akirene's Cherokee Rose
CDX
would later be bred to the Peter son
Am Ch Banchory The Cornerstone
ROM
to produce the tri-factored sable
male
Can Ch Wee Akirene's MacTavish
CD
Initially, it would be Irene and their eldest son Wade
involved with the breeding and Dog
Shows.
It would become apparent, however that Wade lacked interest
in the shelties.
He was more interested watching the ring with the girl Junior handlers
than
being attentive to assist Irene with her shelties.
Wade would also have a keen interest
in the business potential of the
dogs;
an interest which quickly diminished when he realized that the expenses always
exceeded any money
gained within this
hobby!
When it became apparent
that Wade was not interested
in going to the dog
shows,
their youngest son, Rod (or Roddy)
would be quick to take his
place.
Rod would have a natural
way with animals. Dogs were
usually drawn to the young 10 year old boy.
He would have the ability to
connect with shelties, especially ones
which
were considered as a challenge to
show.
Rod was eager for the
opportunity to go to the shows with
Irene.
He was even more excited to have a sheltie of his
own;
a blue merle if given the
choice of colors.
It would be decided that he could attend the shows
and have a sheltie of his own
if certain conditions were
met.
The first requirement involved
the ability to develop a working relationship with a
dog.
Rod would need to complete
an Open degree (CDX) in
obedience.
This would require
attending weekly obedience
classes, daily training, and entering
obedience trials.
He would complete the Open
training on their first homebred
Can
Ch Akirene's
Diplomat
CDX
The second condition would
involve the development of
skill and technique
in handling and display of
sportsmanship.
Rod would become a member of the Vancouver Junior Kennel
Club;
attending weekly junior handling
classes taught by Elsie Murray.
He would compete within the Junior
Handling Competitions.
His sportsmanship in these
competitions would be observed.
The third condition would
involve the ability to be patient
and when working with
puppies.
Rod would attend weekly adult
handling classes to show train puppies,
and handle puppies at sanction matches.
The fourth condition required the understanding that dogs were a
hobby and not a business.
No
monetary gain could be
received from
involvement
with
any dog until he was past the age of
16.
The final condition required maintaining levels of academic
excellence at school.
School
would always be the
priority!
The conditions were agreed
upon and a planned breeding for
Can Ch Banchory The Black Rose
CD
to a blue merle would be
considered.
The second litter from
Can Ch Banchory The Black Rose
CD
would be sired by the inbred Pow
son,
Am Ch
Banchory Thunder Blue ROM/ROMC
(Am Can Ch Cherden
Sock It To 'Em ROM/ROMC ex Clan Duncan Banchory
Bluette)
This litter would consist of six
puppies, four of which were color headed
whites!
There would be only one blue merle
bitch in the litter.
She would be
claimed as Roddy's promised
puppy, and would be registered
as
Akirene's South Sea Blue
There would be however, a very beautiful blue headed
white
bitch which Irene could not let go as
simply a pet.
This puppy would be
offered as a gift to
Banchory and would become known
as
Akirene's Snowbird
Akirene's South Sea Blue
and Roddy's
first time within the conformation
ring would be memorable!
Irene would plan to enter her Pow
daughter at a set of three
all breed shows.
Rod would plead for the opportunity to enter his puppy as well.
He was
cautioned that if his
puppy went to the shows,
he needed to be
prepared not to win.
Irene would explain that
puppies rarely win at the All-Breed
Shows;
especially a six month blue merle with one blue eye
handled by a
child!
Roddy was reminded of their
agreement that if he cried
or became upset when he
lost, he could never go to another show.
Rod would reassure his mother that
he would show good sportsmanship if his puppy lost
.
Entries would be made and a six hour drive with reminders would
fill the trip.
On the first day of shows Roddy
and his puppy would win the 6-9 class with 3
puppies competing.
This would be followed by Irene and her tri bitch winning the
Open class with 9 bitches competing.
Irene would give her son another
quick reminder of their agreement
as they both entered the Winner's
ring.
When the judge
announced his decision for Winners
Bitch,
it would be the 6 month old puppy
and her young handler to
receive the
honours.
Furthermore, they would be
awarded Best of Breed (over 5
Specials)
Working Group 4th, Best Puppy in Group,and
Best Puppy In Show!
The young team would
continue to win all 3
days; with
Irene's bitch taking the Reserve
placements.
It would
thus come to be, that the leashes would
be forever turned over to
Roddy,
who
became known as the
exclusive
handler at Akirene.
Can Ch Akirene's South
Sea Blue
would first be bred to
Am Can
Ch Banchory Deep Purple ROM
(Am Ch Sundowner Mr.
Bojangles ROM ex Horizon's White Ice)
to produce a stunning bitch with
facial markings identical to her
sire.
She would be named
after her sire's owner at that
time, and thusly named "Judy
Lowe".
She would become known as the lovely American Specialty winning blue
bitch
Am Ch Akirene's Lowe And
Behold
She would be acquired
by Larry and Marilyn
Sumida of Brievin Shelties.
Unfortunately,
this lovely bitch would become a tragic victim of Divorce and a loss to the breed,
when her owners ended their marriage and their involvement in
shelties.
Can Ch Akirene's South Sea
Blue
would also be bred
to Akirene's previously owned bi-blue
Am Ch Madselin's Grand
Slam
(Am Can Ch Banchory Backstop
ROM/ROMC ex Can Ch Banchory Misty
Blue)
prior to his sale to George & Melanie
Williams of Lochanora.
This breeding would
produce. . .
Akirene's El Solo Blue
Ecstacy
who would be acquired
by Marjorie and Richard
Norstrom of El Solo
Shelties.
Prior to leaving
Akirene, at 6 months she would be awarded
Best In Sweepstakes, Reserve
Winnners Bitch & Best Puppy in
Show
at the SSC of BC
Specialty under
Breeder-Judge Mary Van
Wagenen of Sea Isle Kennels
The blue merle color headed
white
Akirene's Snowbird
would
be sent to Banchory to be a significant
contributor
to the Banchory
line and to the Breed through her children . .
