If you are planning to purchase an American Akita puppy, we warmly recommend you to contact our puppy info. On the other hand, if you consider importing an American Akita, we can also supply you with useful information about American Akitas in other countries, particularly regarding their health status. When purchasing a puppy, do check that the sire and dam are healthy and sound breed representatives and that their hips and eyes have been checked. It is a good idea to talk to owners and breeders of American Akitas prior to purchasing a puppy. You will receive a lot of information, positive and negative. You will soon note that the American Akita is a much loved and respected family member who has made an impression on his family and that they are justly proud of their dog.
 
An American Akita puppy is most appealing, but he will not remain a cute puppy for very long. He will soon grow to be a big and strong dog who demands plenty of exercise and a strong owner to be able to cope with him.

Are you patient enough to give your puppy elementary training? Are you willing to spend your spare time with him? He will suffer, if you just feed and exercise him quickly and then leave him alone at home again. Are you prepared to settle the vets bills? Feeding a large dog also costs money. The decision to acquire a dog means that you have to sacrifice a lot of things, both timewise and financially. The American Akita normally lives to a ripe old age of 10-13 years - are you willing to commit yourself to this time? If you give a positive answer, then you are likely to have a most devoted companion one can wish for.
