WHAT TO EXPECT/ PAYMENT INFO
I try to make your experience as simple as possible throughout the process of acquiring your new puppy. This page is designed to give you answers to many questions, and help you understand the process of purchasing a pup. I know it can be an intimidating experience to purchase a puppy over the internet especially when you dont know whom you are dealing with.  Hopefully this will help to ease some of your fears, and give us both an opportunity to get to know one another better.
Before a deposit can be placed on a pup you must contact me via phone. I like to talk with potential buyers and find out a little about you, as I am sure you would like to do the same of me. I do check emails daily and I will answer as many questions that you have through email or by phone as often as you like. I do NOT accept TTY calls, if you are hearing impared or speak another language I require that a close friend, family member call in your place with you being present.
 Once you have decided on a pup a deposit is required to reserve the puppy for you. The deposit price is $200.00 and is non refundable, I accept any type of payment on the deposit.   The balance is due NO LATER than the date the pups reach 7 weeks old!  The balance must reach me by this date, NOT be sent on or around this time unless you are local and picking up the puppy yourself, in that case it is due upon pickup. For those that require shipping if the balance has not been paid I cannot book flights and it throws everything off and puts a lot of stress on me as I am forced to try to book last minute flights, and it is not possible to work with you on times and date for shipping if it is a last minute.  If I do receive the balance by 7 weeks I can make sure that travel arrangements are complete, I try to find a day that works for you and its much smoother of a process. flights are booked and paid for on my end and the ship date can go forth without any problems.  All you do is show up show your identification and take your knew baby home.  As far as payments I only accept a bank wire transfer, money gram, or western union.  If you would rather send a check I will allow that but I will not release the pup until the check clears the bank, which you know can take up to 10 business days.  As I mentioned above the deposit may be paid by check, money order, cashier’s check or any other method of your choosing, I am not picky on the method of payment for the deposit. Under extreme situations where the above mentioned payment methods will not work for you on final payments, I may work with you to come up with something we can both agree upon.

ITEMS EACH PUP WILL COME WITH
Each puppy comes with a 3 generation pedigree, AKC Registration papers, and A 2 year genetic guarantee contract, stating that if a genetic issue arises in the first 2 years of the pups life, you will be entitled to a refund or exchange from another litter. The pups will be up to date on all shots, they will receive a well check up, wormer, and the health papers for the flight. As far as the registration papers I know how hard it is to find a pup that you will be able to breed if you so choose. Therefore I do allow potential buyers to purchase puppies with full registration as long as you agree to be responsible as a breeder and make every attempt to better the breed.  In the event that I feel for any reason that you may not be responsible with breeding rights, I reserve the right to limit the registration and deny breeding if I so choose! Keep in mind there are many animals each and every day all over the world that are euthanized due to irresposible people breeding dogs.

After you have chosen your puppy and paid a deposit you will receive weekly email updates and pictures of your pup. It’s always fun to see how they are growing and to hear about mile stones they reach and fun things they learn and do. I am always available for questions or concerns by email, or phone. Don’t ever think that you are bothering me, if you have any concerns, please contact me immediately and I will be happy to take the time to resolve any questions or concerns.  I want you to feel comfortable with this process.  Believe me I have been in your shoes and I know it can be intimidating and scary to send money to a complete stranger.  Hopefully we can spend time through email, phone calls or if your able meeting in person is also a wonderful way of getting to know each other to help ease these fears.

REFERENCES
I do have references upon request that I am happy to provide to you so you may speak with previous buyers and hear about there experiences.  I have referances both locally and from individualls that received a pup through shipping.  Just ask and I will provide you with names and numbers.

 INFORMATION ON THE BREED!             

Before settling on a breed of dog, Akita specifically, I strongly recommend that you research the breed if you are a first time Akita owner, they are much more than a fluffy cute puppy!
Here is a little information on them.

The Akita is a national monument in its native Japan, the Akita has been used as a versatile hunting dog, hunting mostly large game for many years.  There is even a spiritual significance attached to the breed - when a child is born in Japan, the family will receive an Akita statue signifying health, happiness, and long life.  The Akita first arrived in the United States when Helen Keller brought one over in 1937.

Although known to be a quiet dog (they are known as the "Silent Hunter" in Japan), the Akita has stong guarding instincts and will sound the alarm if an unknown intruder breaks into their house, or enters the property.  Akita temperament can range from calm to bouncy and aggressive, so the breed should always be supervised around small children and other animals.  Akita's like to be "pack leader," so obedience training is recommended, and a strong hand is neaded in raising the Akita to ensure a harmonious houseold.
The breed will groom itself like a cat, but daily brushing is still necessary, as is daily exercise.  These animals do not do well in an apartment setting as they need room to run.  A fenced yard with a 6 foot fence is the ideal setting.  They are also diggers and will dig if they are bored or feel neglected.

 The Akita has a thick double coat that they will shed or blow twice per year, the entire under coat sheds out and can be a bit messy for a week or so, grooing during this period is a must.

As far a color they can come in any color, including pure white, brindle, pinto, reds, black, brown, ect.  They usually all have a variety of markings, and no two Akita's are the same in color!
