We have owned Akitas since 1995, and have been breeding since 2000.    We are actively involved in showing in the conformation ring.

Our puppies are raised in our home, and live with me, my daughter and 8  year old granddaughter,  our other dogs, and are exposed to our friends and extended family. They are raised with a tremendous amount of love and caring. We firmly believe that this enhances the wonderful temperaments we have produced in all our litters to date. We are very selective of our stud dogs, since health and temperament are so important to us.

This selectivity also extends to our puppy buyers. We are very careful about our placements, and are always available for questions and advice.  We keep in touch with our puppies' new families, and encourage feedback from them.

I have been a member of the Public Education Committee of the Akita Club of America, and strongly believe that it is our job as breeders to educate - our puppy buyers, our prospective puppy buyers, and the public in general. Akitas are NOT the breed for everyone, and, as such, potential owners need to know as much about the breed as possible - the good, and the bad. We, as breeders, need to know as much as possible about our prospective buyers, too, so that we can place the right puppy with the right family. We will accept (and have taken back) any of our puppies  for any reason, so we want to be as sure as we can that the placements we make will hold.
