Rumor left us quite suddenly in August of 2011 due to cancer. Although he can never be replaced,his kids and grandkids are following in his pawprints to uphold the family tradition of type,confirmation,and loving temperament. Many thanks to all who included him in their breeding programs around the world.

Rumor, also an International Champion, is a grandson of Pride, the tradition continues. Bred by Steve Haugen and Jennifer Grande of Stejen Akitas. He is a breeder's dream come true with his lovely type, conformation, and movement, and a temperament made for loving. He is a ROM (Register Of Merit) producer having 13 Champion kids so far and several more Pointed and Major Pointed kids.We thank all of the breeders who believed in us enough to include Rumor in their breeding programs.
