As I said, I'm very new into breeding and that's why I'm learning all I can to see if my dog is suitable. Unfortunately, the breeder I got Hanzo from no longer operates as she only decided to sell Hanzo because of her marriage breakup and she have to hurry to sell her house and everything else..it was very sad. The thing is as well it is the first Japanese Akita Inu that she bred as she previously only bred American Akitas, so there is not much I can learn from.

As for the breed club, I think is my best bet and I probably should go along to their meeting to get to know more from them. Though it is a fairly small crowd and I did tried to contact them once or twice with no response

I'm quite surpised to hear that there are many Jap Akita Inus breeders around as I cannot find any, apart from one or two in the UK. Though rest of Europe have many. All the ones I see in the UK are only American Akita or the Japanese Akita which of course is different than the Inus.

It is not that I'm trying to confuse anyone about if he's allow to breed or not, see my knowledge is so basic that I don't even know there might be a clause to say he can't on his papers. So, I'll definitely check tonight when I get home from work!

Thanks everyone!
