About Us

Antonis Katsaounos & George Trompoukis, who had a love for animals and especially for dogs from an early age, made their dream come true, the foundation of the Japanese Akita Kennel in Ioannina «Tenjoukai Kensha».

It all started when we visited the "Hi Ga Noboru" Kennel of Nikos Vazakas, the man who brought the Akita to Greece and who is a renowned judge of the FCI (World Canine Organisation) to acquire our first Akita.

Under the leadership of Nikos and with the vision to breed healthy animals with very good character and excellent morphology, which exactly meet the breed standard, we select the best breeding dogs and carry out a certain number of births per year. Breeding is our passion and hobby, which we try to pursue with high standards and professionalism. Our goal is that the people who trust us and get an Akita are happy and love this breed as much as we do.

Our Kennel is registered with the FCI and the Kennel Club of Greece with registration number 084/15, and we are both Founding Members of the Akita Club of Greece. Our dogs have been awarded at various shows and have run all necessary tests that make them suitable for reproduction.
