My wife and I decided to launch this website so that anyone searching for an Akita puppy will be more fully informed on what to look for in a breeder. We included websites we wish we would have known about before we purchased a puppy from Royalty Akitas.
Are you thinking about buying an Akita puppy?
Please be informed before you purchase a dog. Know the breed and as best you can research the breeder — it may save you considerable heartache and thousands of dollars in veterinarian bills. There ARE reputable breeders out there but in our opinion, Royalty Akitas is NOT one of them!
NOTE: It is our understanding that (some or all) the dogs used for breeding purposes by Alaska Akitas came from Royalty Akitas so we added a Alaska Akitas page for related complaints.
