The first dog I ever owned was a female Afghan Hound when I was 20 years old. I showed her , finished her Japanese title, and started breeding Afghans.

After I married Yoshiro, we began importing many Afghans from U.S.A., Australia, Norway, and Italy and showed them to be JKC Champions, and FCI Champions. We have bred Afghans under the Gran Rowa Kennel, and amongg our JKC Champions, one of our bitches finished her US title.

In 2003, I obtained the qualification for Judging Afghan Hound, Whippet, Borzoi, Saluki, Italian Greyhound from the Japan Kennel Club and I am an FCI All Breeds Judge now.

I have judged All Breeds many times in Japan, and overseas countries such as Australia, USA, Lithuania, Finland, Philippines and England. I judged 81 Afghan Hounds at the Brisbane Specialty in 2014.

I am looking forward to meet nice dogs and people in Australia.
