Akita Forum:
WE NEED HELP FINDING A PUPPY!

Me and my husband are looking for an akita puppy. We have done alot of research on this breed and know it is the perfect dog for us, but we can not find them anywhere. Does anyone have any advice on how I can find one? We live in Georgia. If anyone can help pleas e-mail me. Thank you!

Marsha, thank you but that is quite a bit more than I am willing to spend. I have talked to quite a few breeders and they are asking between $300-$500 and these are show quality dogs. Thank you anyway! Good Luck!

Well......there is show quality (any Akita that does not have a disqualifying fault) and then there is SHOW QUALITY.....this is a dog that can enter a conformation ring and WIN with proper training. You will not get a SHOW QUALITY Akita for $300-500 range.....Put 1000 in front of it and then you can be pretty much assured of a healthy (health clearances done on parents and grandparents...ask for verification on this) nice Akita you can go out in the ring and win with.

Kim, poor dear Kim, you are so sadly mistaken in your belief that you can get a true show quality puppy for $300-500.00 it is so far off that I sit here and chuckle at the mere thought of you believing this to be true. This also tells me that you have failed to do your homework. If you are talking to breeders that say they will sell you a show pup for that cheap then you are talking to back yard breeding idiots who would not know a show pup from a purple polka dotted pig. Get back to the researching stage, you need more educating.
