Long Coat Akita wins FCI dog show

Long Coat Akita wins FCI show A few days back I saw a post in facebook about an amazing Akita win , a long coat akita won Best Female of Breed in an FCI exhibition with excellence.

Although long coat is considered a fault according to FCI's Akita standard , Mezumi Raj Lasu participated in FCI dog show in Indonesia. Mezumi Raj Lasu belongs to to Jah Suede kennel in Bali-Indonesia.

This must be the very first show win for an LC akita, will this amazing win affect the future of LC akitas in FCI dog shows?

Longhair akita

Have you seen or heard for akitas with long hair?

They do exist and they are purebred, the long hair characteristic hasn't disappeared, according to some theories the gene comes from Karafuto Ken. We can see long haired dogs of both American and Japanese akitas , if both parents carry the gene then there is about 25% chance for long hair puppies.

Google sabotaging akitas, or, we do it?

Today I was doing my regular googling for interesting information about akitas , So I searched for "akita news dog" and selected the option to fetch only last year's results. Unfortunately I didn't come up with any interesting news or information, instead I was surprised by the number of results in the first page which were related to akita attacks, 5 out of 10.

Before looking at akita google results , take a look at these google results for 3 other breeds:
