Registration Papers-Health Certificate
**Confused !! Please Read On !!!**
I will try to clarify all the different possibilities on registration-certificates for both Dogs and Health

Akiho Certificate and Numbers
Akiho is the highest form of registration for Japanese Akitas
Japan based numbers issued for dogs tell you that all Parents on pedigree are also pure Akiho registered.
This is an example-it has a number/pedigree and shows the owner's name--issued in English from Japan thanks to our USA based org. AkihoLA. Always ask to see before you buy a Japanese Akita.
