"Keesha" (Vinnie X Kahlua) at 8 months old. Owned by the Grants. Keesha is a longcoated Akita, which is the result of a recessive gene. Although the long coat is a fault in the show ring, it is gorgeous, and longcoated Akitas have a reputation for having excellent temperaments. Longcoats require more grooming than a regular coated Akita but are definately worth it, isn't Keesha a beauty?
