Crystal pictured with her littermate Ch. Serdess Tip Toe Tootsie (Tip, owned by Dr. Joe and Margaret Salkind).  Crystal was Best Veteran in Sweeps and Tip was Best of Opposite.  At nearly 8 years old, the physical condition and body style of both dogs is unmatched and something we strive for here at Grandslam Akitas.

CH. CRYSTAL IS A BITCH THAT NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION.  A LITTER SISTER TO OUR CH. SERGE, CRYSTAL HAS ALREADY MADE HER MARK ON THE AKITA BREED.  RECENTLY RECIEVING HER ROM, CRYSTAL IS THE DAM OF OUR CH. CUTTER, A GROUP WINNER FROM THE CLASSES, AND CH. REGALIA'S SPOZALIZIO OF SERDESS (PUTZI), WHO IS STILL THE YOUNGEST AKITA TO EVER WIN AN ALL BREED BEST IN SHOW.  CRYSTAL IS ALSO THE DAM OF OUR CH. GRANDSLAMS CITATION REGALIA (CITATION), A DOG WE FEEL IS GOING TO BE A STAR IN THE FUTURE, WHO FINISHED HIS CHAMPIONSHIP AT 11 MONTHS OLD, AND HIS BROTHER CH. GRANDSLAM'S KY BREW AT MIDNITE (BOURBON), WHO IS LOVED AND OWNED BY LYNN MORGAN OF MIDNITE AKITAS.  IN ADDITION, CRYSTAL IS THE DAM OF CH. REGALIA'S CRESCENDO, WHO FINISHED IN UNDER 10 SHOWS WITH 3 5 POINT MAJORS.  SHE ALSO HAS A FEW CHILDREN WAITING FOR MAJORS TO FINISH.  CRYSTAL IS THE TYPE OF BITCH TO BUILD A KENNEL AROUND, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE DONE.  CRYSTAL IS ONE OF THE SWEETEST DOGS WE HAVE EVER HAD, AND WANTS NOTHING MORE THEN TO PLEASE HER OWNER.  IN SHORT, THERE IS AND WILL ONLY BE ONE CRYSTAL, AND WITHOUT A DOUBT, SHE IS IT!
