American Akita Breeders

jamesd

Hi,
I am looking for a male american akita pup - anyone recomend any breeders?

Thanks

I have contacted the irish kennel club but they had no breeders listed.

jamesd

Bump - any akita owner out there?

andreac

You should try coming along to a dog show and talk to some of the Akita owners there. Most of them would be glad to help out or point you in the right direction. Theres a big show on in dublin on the 11th April, in swords.

What part of the country are you in then?

jamesd

Im from Galway but If I knew there would be Akitas at the show I would have no bother travelling.

andreac

Oh theres always Akitas at the shows. The easter show is an international one so there is usually a big entry of dogs all round.

i thought it was Japanese Akita's rather than American?

American Akitas are more Dark colored whereas the Japanese breed is lighter in color

What time is the show on at the weekend in the The National Show Centre? I checked on the show dogs ireland site and it does not say the time, I see that ikitas are on group 5 in it.

Hi there, judging starts at 8.30 and the Akitas are on first in their ring, so you might have to be there early to see them.

I don't know anything about them, I just googled "American Akitas" because i wanted to see how they differed from Japanese Akitas!

Oh an early rise but I'll do it, Is the show far passed Dublin airport as I will be heading from the city direction.

andreac

No its literally 2mins from there, when you come to the main roundabout into the airport, take a right off that, the old swords roads, drive to next roundabout and you will go right on that too and the entrance is just there then on left for National Show Centre, there is charge for car park, think its either 4 or 5 euro, cant remember exactly as i pay my car park with my entry.

If you have any more questions just shout.

Picked my akita at the weekend, Collecting him the first of may as he 'd be nearly 9 weeks old then.

andreac

Oh really?? thats brilliant, who did you get chatting to and what colour is it? Will you show it too? Did you go to the show yeah, did you enjoy it?

jamesd

Actually got talking to a couple that are local to my home in galway and they told me of a guy with an advert for pups for sale about 30 minutes from my house so I went yesterday and got my pick of the litter. He will have all vacinations and be registered and microchipped when I collect him.

I would like to show him but we will have to see how that works out

Here's a pic of the pup.

andreac

Oh wow, he looks gorgeous, does the breeder show or not?
Hope you got to see plenty of Akitas on saturday, i did really well with my rottweiler, we came 4th in our group, picking up the green star, cacib and best of breed before that, so we had a fantastic day.

jamesd

You did very well, must be great satisfaction as I know it takes alot of work for you and your dog for the shows, yes the owner showed the parent dogs and a friend of mine knows the brother of the pups mother and he is also a good show dog so hopefully the pup will be a good one too.
