TENTATIVE SUMMER SCHEDULE

Our regular Monday evening meetings are suspended through the busy summer months. We will let you all know when we will start up again. If anyone has an idea for a meeting place that is free and located in the Portland/Vancouver area, please let us know about it.

our beginning

Welcome to the web site of the Columbia River Akita Alliance.

Whether you already know what an Akita is or you are looking for more information about this beautiful breed from Japan, we are here for the dogs and for you!  If you live in Oregon or Washington and are looking for other Akita owners, you have come to the right web site.

Founding members Wendy Sorrell and Linda Lapossa had often talked about the need for a group that anyone with an Akita could choose to be a part of on any level on which they were comfortable. They felt it was important to be open-minded and accepting of anyone that reached out for guidance, information, and friendship.

CRAA is not just a group of folks with a single-minded goal for our Akitas. We are a group of Akita owners that share our experiences, appreciate the experiences of other Akita owners, and respect and support each other. We truly believe that it’s all about the dogs.
