Thanks for the compliments!

For the list of Akita breeders please refer to the website I’m mentioning in this blogpost:

Hope you will find a new best friend. But first make sure you select the breeder that ‘feels right’.

All the best,

I found your website in my ongoing Akita research. It is a great resource and contains some wonderful photos and videos!

My family is looking to buy an akita puppy this year and I am hoping that you might be able to refer me to a breeder of Japanese-style akitas in California, or anywhere in the Western states. (I have found several breeders of the American-style akita, but not the Japanese kind.)

Our long-time akita/husky companion, Oso, passed away in the spring. He was very much a hybrid — possessing characteristics of both breeds — and we want to try a pure-bred akita this time.

Any resources would be most appreciated.

Thank you,

Tara
