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.
