We never expected a litter of 6 for our first one. What a gift, such a large litter. Yes 6 is a lot, I have never seen a Shikoku litter that big (max I have seen was a litter of 5). We named this litter the “Akira-litter” in honor of our breeder in Japan Mr. Akira Yano Izumoshi. Shousei and Sumi both came from this breeder.
Parents:
Dam: Unshoume Go Izumo Yanosou (above left)
Sire: Shousei Homare Go Izumo Yanosou (above right)
Full names of the pups:
- Takahiro Akira Go Kasatori Sou
