Coupe -
America’s #1 Akita & #5 Working Dog in the U.S.A. in
2009
Our
honorable “rockstar” here at Mojo Akitas, Coupe has a very
outgoing personality and wonderful temperament! He is a
powerful built dog with clear and vibrant color, heavy round
bone with much substance, a thick and correct coat, well
knuckled cat like feet, black pigment and gums, beautiful
breed type and fantastic clean movement no matter which way
he’s heading!
Coupe
entered the show ring at 6 months of age and was an impressive
winner from the very beginning! He was shown only 5 weekends
until he achieved his American championship title at 7 ˝
months old. His wins from these 5 weekends include: Multiple
Best Puppy in Specialty Show, Multiple Best In Sweepstakes,
Multiple Best of Breed wins and Group placements over top
ranked specials! He finished up this winning streak in style
by going Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best Puppy in Show
for a 5 point major at the Akita Club of Las Vegas Specialty
Show under the esteemed judge Mrs. Michelle Billings!
Coupe
returned to the ring in 2007 and won his first Best In
Specialty Show at the Golden Gate Akita Club Specialty Show
under judge Mr. Mark Van Alstyne. That same year, we attended
the AKC National Invitational “Eukanuba” Show in Long
Beach where he won Best of Opposite Sex and Best Bred By
Exhibitor under breeder judge Mrs. Catherine Bell. We
continued on that day to win Bred By Exhibitor Working Group 4
under judge Mr. Adrian Landarte. Showing him myself to these
wins was a most memorable experience for me!
In 2008,
now being shown exclusively by Al ”Beep” and Shari Lee,
Coupe again attended the AKC National Invitational
“Eukanuba” where he won Best Of Breed under judge Mr.
Houston Clark and a Working Group 2 under judge Mrs. Sheila
Dinardo!
Coming into
his prime in 2009, Coupe won his first of many All Breed Best
In Show wins! Coupe was Americas #1 Akita (ALL SYSTEMS) and
the #5 Working Dog in 2009! The 3 years that he was shown as a
special, he remained a top ranked Akita while still living at
home as a housedog during the week! His outstanding
showmanship and sound movement made him impossible to miss in
the ring.
Coupe
retired with a record of 14 ALL BREED BEST IN SHOW wins and 7
BEST IN SPECIALTY SHOW wins!
Now retired from the show ring, Coupe is proving himself to be
a wonderful producer. With limited breeding, he is reproducing
his lovable and sweet temperament with fantastic type and
soundness! Coupe and some of his kids are pictured

Dog.
