I have owned Akitas since the 1980's having purchased them from reputable breeders, and I have never had any issues until my dealings with Royalty Akitas. Mr. Van Dermyden and I agreed upon my purchasing of Kingston, a puppy from the litter of Titan and Misty August 28, 2016. Two payments were made through PayPal for a total of $2000, with a discount if I purchased the puppy immediately. . . .
I purchased a puppy from Royalty Akitas 5 years ago. It wasn’t the one we chose as the owner thought there was another who was a “better fit” for us. We paid $1800.00 for him. . . .
In 2015 my family bought a male Akita puppy from Royalty Akitas and his name was Harley. He was born on March 6, 2015. We have had two Akitas before from different places and they were amazing, gentle, and good-natured. Immediately when Harley was a puppy, we noticed he didn't like being picked up or held, and was sensitive about his back end being touched.
Not all breeders are the same is an obvious statement; but some breeders attempt to hide the fact that they breed a significant percentage of sick dogs by quickly replacing the sick puppy with another puppy regardless of the ongoing health issues that arise from their poor breeding practices. Some breeders may actually make you to sign a nondisclosure agreement before they agree to replace the sick puppy with a new one. We thought we had fully researched Royalty Akitas before we bought our puppy, but clearly, WE WERE WRONG!
