Thank you for the hospitality." Otsuka Fumio


** "After AKITA CUP !!
I was thrilled by the beauty of the West Garda Hotel location. The hotel, meals and services were all good.
I found many quality dogs in Italy (Europe). Especially the reception of the organizers, the exhibitors and the visitors made
me feel very good and I was moved. I thank everyone who was present.

I would like to come back here, I don't want to go back to Japan anymore !! I hope to meet again one day. thanks a lot
Dear President, dear brothers, dear European friends
SEE YOU LATER" HIYAMASO Kamasaki Haruki


*** ”After XVI AKITA CUP & XII SHIBA NIPPO
I was appointed as judge of this edition by NIPPO, thank you for letting us find the wonderful conditions to judge. Thanks a lot. I perceived the love and passion of President Ferrari, Mr. Bordone, Mr. Culotta, all the staff and lovers of Akita and Shiba from all over Europe. And I was moved to feel the friendly atmosphere. As soon as I arrive in Japan, I will tell you all about this wonderful exposure to NIPPO colleagues.
Thank you again for having made me have this beautiful experience of participating in this exhibition as a judge.

Keep your history and experiences dear and wish you more and more prosperity. Italy and Japan are two distant countries but the love and passion for Japanese dogs are the same, for anything do not hesitate to ask me and I will gladly cooperate.
I can't wait to meet again one day. Thanks thanks thanks"
