My very special boy, first and for-most because he is and always will be my first Home Bred Champion! Sooner lived up to his name in my opinion by being the beginning to our new era to us. Sooner has a personality and temperament you just have to love, but he gets it honestly because his mother was the same way. Sooner, was fun to show. So much so that he got Best Puppy at The Lone Star Akita Specialty and got a 4 pt major win by going WD, Who I owe these wins to Donna Bennett (Liberty Akita's). I can't thank her enough for taking my boy and showing him to his fullest potential.  He finished by going Breed over Special in Fayettville, AR. Later, on another weekend placed in the groups for a group 4. I couldn't have been happier with my boy. He staked his claim and came out a Champion, true "boomer" Sooner fashion.
