It was our good fortune to acquire Dory from her breeders Dave & Maureen Minns as a four year old Champion bitch. She quickly became the "Queen of Diamonds" and gave us three champion sons and two champion daughters, therefore laying a firm foundation for Diamond Akitas. 

She returned to the show ring where she delighted the crowds as a Multiple Veteran Group Winner and Best Veteran in Sweeps.  Dory always took her roll as matriarch seriously as the sentry at Villa Diamante.
