Hi all,

id like to ask who in your opinion are the top five jumbo gosanke breeders today and why?

When we talk about "Jumbo" are we talking about the breeder that grows the biggest or best overall quality? Since this is best "Jumbo" I will go this route.

top five kohaku breeders
1. Sakai Hiroshima 2. Momotaro 3. Sakai Isawa 4.Yamamatsu 5.Torazo
top five sanke breeders
1. Sakai Hiroshima 2. Momotaro 3. Sakai Isawa 4.Yamamatsu 5.Torazo
top five showa breeders
1. Sakai Hiroshima 2. Momotaro 3. Takeda 4.Omosako 5.Isa


also where do you feel some of the most respected breeders of the recent past feature today, names such as dainichi and ogawa?

These breeders, thou were great during the times under the great owners, like Minoru Mano and Elder Ogawa who have past on. Like the saying says about Dainichi, "There are koi from Dainichi and there are Dainichi koi"...
