​​​
Akari is fun-loving, eager, and thrives on new challenges. She excels in scentwork, rally, and agility, with the focus and drive of a working golden. At the same time, she is gentle, affectionate, and easy to live with, the kind of dual-purpose Golden we strive to produce.
​
She has earned:
-
AKC Best of Breed (4–6 months) Beginner Puppy
-
IABCA International Champion
-
World of Cynosport Rally Level 1
-
​
Akari brings together lines from Topbrass, Hunnydew, Goldstrike, and blended with less common ancestry that strengthens her diversity profile. Unlike many modern pedigrees concentrated on the same handful of sires, Akari’s background helps preserve unique genetics for the next generation.
