Yuki is our first Hokkaido, and the foundation female of Apricity Kennel. She is a decorated show dog, and she's set several records and historic milestones for the Hokkaido breed here in the USA.  Yuki has a phenomenal build and personality; very driven, a biddable worker, recovers easily if spooked, and extremely family oriented. Now retired from our program, she attends work as an office dog at the US Capitol Building in Washington, DC where she loves greeting people!

Kibo is a very special girl-- she is the first CEA CLEAR Hokkaido born in the United States. Kibo has a very petite and athletic build paired with an energetic, spirited personality. There isn't anything this girl doesn't put 100% effort into. She is also our most reliable off leash Hokkaido. Kibo is also in training for both migraine and seizure detection.

Buffy is one of the few sesame Hokkaido left in the world. She has great substance for a female, smooth movement, moderate work drive, high human sociability, and moderate dog sociability. While Buffy has numerous show awards under her belt, she isn't just a pretty face! She also passed her Alliance of Therapy Dogs exam and volunteers as a certified therapy dog.
