皇家骑士美国秋田犬舍成立于二O一六年，是中国NGKC名将犬业俱乐部永久注册会员，（NGKC是美国犬业协会(AKC)中国唯一授权的合作伙伴,是中国唯一一家利用DNA进行纯种犬认证的犬业协会。）我们的犬舍位于世界历史文化古都之一的北京，分舍建在中国最美丽的巴山蜀水之地——山城重庆。 The Royal Knight akita Kennel, founded in 2016, is a permanent member of NGKC in China（NGKC is the only partner authorized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in China, and also is the only dog association that uses DNA for dog pedigree certification in China）. Our kennel is located in Beijing which is one of the most famous historical and cultural cities in the world. Our branch is built in the most beautiful city in southwest China: Chongqing.
我们的初次邂逅美国秋田犬这一迷人品种，始于2001年。那是一个特别的年代，互联网尚未像今天这样改变我们的生活，我们对外界的认知仍多仰赖纸媒与书本。在那个信息相对闭塞的时光里，远方的消息总能激起我们的好奇。一个平常的日子，一位远在大洋彼岸的挚友寄来几本犬类专业书籍，其中一本名叫《Akita World》的杂志尤其引人注目。翻开那些色彩鲜明的页面，美国秋田犬健硕的身姿、粗壮的骨骼、饱满的头颅与厚实的双耳跃然纸上，宛若一头充满魅力的棕熊，令人心驰神往。然而，直到2008年，我们才真正迎来了第一只秋田犬。她是一只来自美国中西部俄亥俄州的小母犬，名叫Vigny。伴随Vigny的成长，我们逐渐感受到这一品种的独特气质——聪慧、忠诚与无畏融为一体。她的到来，让我们深深沉醉于美国秋田犬的魅力之中。正如许多资深繁殖者所言，这些犬只外表高贵，内心充满尊严与勇气。它们并不轻易向所有人流露亲近，只对最亲密的人展露柔情，因而常被外人视为有些‘高冷’。然而，这种神秘的特质恰恰让我们为之着迷。
Our first encounter with the captivating American Akita breed dates back to 2001. It was a unique era when the internet had yet to transform our lives as it does today, and our understanding of the world relied largely on print media and books. In those days of limited information, news from afar always sparked our curiosity. On an ordinary day, a dear friend from across the ocean sent us several professional books about dogs, one of which, a magazine titled Akita World, stood out. As we turned its vividly colored pages, the robust physique, sturdy bones, broad head, and thick ears of the American Akita came to life, resembling a charismatic brown bear and stirring our fascination. Yet it wasn’t until 2008 that we welcomed our first Akita—a young female from Ohio in the American Midwest, named Vigny. As Vigny grew, we came to appreciate the remarkable qualities of this breed: intelligence, loyalty, and fearlessness woven together. Her presence drew us deeply into the allure of the American Akita. As many seasoned breeders describe, these dogs possess not only a noble appearance but also an inner dignity and courage. They don’t readily show affection to all, reserving their warmth for those closest to them, which often makes them seem aloof to strangers. Yet it is precisely this enigmatic quality that captivates us.
从那时起，我们开始深入探究美国秋田犬的起源、历史脉络、性格特征、遗传疾患，以及各大主流血系的演变轨迹。为了这一犬种，我们投入了整整十年的光阴与心血。这段漫长的岁月，也说明了为何在Vigny加入我们之后，我们并未急于引入新的种犬。那时的我们，只是这一品种的发烧友；而Vigny的出现，点燃了我们从一个发烧友迈向专业繁殖者的信念，也让我们深刻认同“优秀母犬乃犬舍灵魂”这一箴言。经过多年的努力与海外同行的支持，我们逐渐明确了自己的方向。在2016至2024年间，我们先后从美国东部宾夕法尼亚州的Regalia Akitas、美国东部西弗吉尼亚州的Mt Joy Akitas、欧洲西北部的Dynamic Force Akitas，以及英国斯凯尔默斯代尔的Ruthdales四家顶级犬舍引入了优质种犬，作为我们繁育改良的基石。这些血统的到来，凝聚了无数心血与期待。在此，我们由衷感谢海外同行Carol Laubscher、Patricia Ellis、Lene Lykke Huls女士，以及Marcel Huls与Matthew Bostock先生，他们慷慨分享了卓越的美国秋田犬；同时，也感谢国内伙伴与秋田爱好者的信任与鼓励。
From that point on, we embarked on an in-depth exploration of the American Akita’s origins, historical development, temperament, genetic health concerns, and the evolution of its major bloodlines. We devoted a full decade of time and energy to this breed. This long journey also explains why, after Vigny joined us, we didn’t rush to acquire more breeding dogs. Back then, we were merely passionate enthusiasts; Vigny’s arrival ignited our resolve to transition from hobbyists to professional breeders and deepened our belief that “an exceptional dam is the soul of a kennel.” Through years of dedication and the support of overseas peers, we clarified our path forward. Between 2016 and 2023, we introduced foundation breeding stock from four renowned kennels: Regalia Akitas from eastern Pennsylvania, Mt Joy Akitas from West Virginia, Dynamic Force Akitas from northwestern Europe, and Ruthdales from Skelmersdale, England. Bringing these exceptional bloodlines to us required immense effort and anticipation. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our international colleagues—Carol Laubscher, Patricia Ellis, Ms. Lene Lykke Huls, Marcel Huls, and Matthew Bostock—for sharing their outstanding American Akitas with us. We also thank our domestic partners and fellow Akita enthusiasts for their trust and encouragement.
我们始终坚守道德育种的理念，繁殖是为了改良，而非单纯为了满足市场批量生产。为了保证幼犬的质量，我们每年只繁殖1-2窝，且只在确信能为这一品种做出积极贡献的情况下，才会精心策划育种计划。
We remain committed to ethical breeding, striving to improve the breed rather than mass-producing puppies to meet market demand. To ensure the quality of each pup, we plan only one or two litters per year, and only when we are confident the breeding will benefit the breed do we proceed with care. This is not just our love for the American Akita—it is our pledge to this endeavor.
