The entire American Kennel Club universe mourns the passing of our very special friend, Kaz Hosaka. For over 40 years he epitomized professionalism, both inside and outside of the show ring.

To know Kaz was to respect him, his sportsmanship, knowledge and dedication to the sport of dogs. He just recently honored us with a visit to AKC’s headquarters on May 15, 2024. It was a wonderful time and will always be a fond memory.

Our condolences to his dear wife Roxanne Wolf, family, and friends.
