Our philosophy is to breed only occasionally
and then only to improve the breed. When
breeding we do testing of hips, elbows, knees
and eyes, these tests are vital to the to the
well-being and health of your Akita puppy.  
Temperament is of utmost importance to us, a
sound mind is as important as a sound dog.  
All our puppies are raised in the home.  They
are socialized and part of our family.  

Even with limited breeding together we have
bred or owned and shown to their
championship over 40 Champions.
