Torpedo has fulfilled all our expectations and more. He is a great showman and my daughters best buddy. My sincere thanks to my dear friend Karen Bell of Christabell Akitas for giving us this wonderful opportunity and sending Torpedo to us.

Torpedo is already @ 6.5 months a Multi Best of Breed/Runner Up Best Of Breed winner, winning over older Ch and Grand Ch competition. We hope that he continues his success in the ring.
