Akita (Japanese) Breeders, Snowy Monaro NSW

Breeding is not an art — it’s a science. At ITABASS, we have had the honour of owning the rare and majestic Japanese Akita since 2015 — a breed of profound beauty, dignity, and loyalty. Our program combines prestigious international pedigrees with careful selection for health, structure, and temperament, ensuring every Akita we produce reflects the noble spirit of its heritage. In October 2015, we welcomed Mishi No Bushido Acca Go Hagakure Kensha, imported from Chile, with lineage tracing to France, Argentina, and Japan — including multiple Akiho winners. Our male, Tsubasa “Raichu”, hails from one of the finest pedigrees in Japan; his sire, Gattsou Go Kodamasou, holds the esteemed Meiyosho title from the 139th Honbuten. Most recently, we proudly welcomed Shintaro, imported from Hungary, bringing valuable new bloodlines and exceptional breed type into our program. All our Akitas are comprehensively health screened prior to breeding, including hip and elbow scoring, eye certification, and DNA profiling, to ensure each generation is sound in both body and mind. As dedicated breeders, the wellbeing of our dogs and the future of the breed will always come first. For this reason, we have made the considered decision to gradually retire from breeding Japanese Akitas in the coming years — a choice made out of deep respect for the breed’s long-term health and sustainability.
