Nosferatu Akitas & Farmbrook Japanese Akita Inu are owned by Chris & Tina Thomas and located in the West Midlands. We are pioneers of these breeds in the UK. We have a wealth of experience of breeding, showing and judging. Chris was the first breed specialist to award Kennel Club Challenge Certificates in the U.K.  

The Farmbrook affix was first established in 1976. We have since that date been active in showing and breeding, Old English Sheepdogs, Rottweilers, Akitas,  Japanese Shiba Inu and Japanese Akita Inu.

We have bred or owned eight UK Champions and four overseas Champions in these breeds. Chris judges at Championship Show level both in the UK and overseas. He is passed to award Kennel Club Challenge Certificates in all of these four breeds, plus all other breeds including Best in Show at Open Show level. Tina judges Old English Sheepdogs, Rottweilers, Akitas and Japanese Shiba Inu together with all other breeds and Best In Show at Open Show level.  Tina also awards Kennel Club Challenge Certificates in Akitas and judges Japanese Akita Inu at Championship Show Level.

We are passionate about or dogs particularly Akita dogs and now only own and show the Akita and the Japanese Akita Inu and the Nosferatu affix was taken up to be exclusive to these breeds.
Although we do not breed puppies often, our aim is to produce Akita dogs that are sound in both body and temperament whilst keeping all the attributes of breed type. Without this insight we believe that our breeds will be subject to change by vogue.

"If you don't like what you see when you look at Akitas and
Japanese Akita Inu,  if you don't like their temperament
- don't try to change them - just don't own one."
