Meet Kehlani

Kehlani is our singleton girl out of “Ghost,” littermate sister to Ouija, and sired by Maria Cogell’s “Captain.”

A party girl from the very beginning, Kehlani has never been short on personality, and we wouldn’t have her any other way! Back when she was still wobbling around the whelping box, we found ourselves questioning whether she might be a long coat. Imagine our delight as she matured into a beautiful, full Akita coat, with bone and breed type to spare.

Kehlani wasted no time making her presence known in the show ring. She made a handful of appearances in the Beginner Puppy ring, earning multiple Group Firsts and a Best Puppy in Show. At just six months and one day old, she stepped into the regular classes for the very first time and promptly went Best of Breed over her uncle Ouija, followed by making the cut in a beautiful Working Group lineup.

After taking a few months off to grow up, Kehlani returned to the ring with every intention of picking up right where she left off — and she certainly did! She earned three Best of Breed wins over multiple specials and completed her AKC Championship with three majors, seemingly before we even had a chance to catch our breath. Along the way, she also earned a NOHS Working Group Third, expertly piloted by her co-owner in their very first appearance in the group ring together.

Beyond her early accomplishments, Kehlani is everything we hoped she would be: full of personality, beautiful breed type, and an undeniable zest for life. We couldn’t be more delighted with this young girl and are incredibly excited to see what the future holds for her!
