Audacious Akitas
Meet the breeder
I'm Michael F., the breeder behind Audacious Akitas located in Kokomo, IN. I have been raising exceptional American Akitas since 1986. My program is built upon a foundation of love and respect for this courageous and loyal breed. I breed with a focus on health, temperament, pedigree, and conformation. I would be honored to connect you with your next beloved pup!
Q. & A. with Michael
Why did you start breeding?
Purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the Akita. I strive to not only produce the highest quality puppies that I can but to promote responsible breeding practices and ensure the well-being of the Akita for generations to come! These dogs have proven to be wonderful companions in my life, and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others.What makes your program special?
I am a premier, selective, and highly experienced breeder of Akita puppies. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy, mentally sound, and are excellent representations of the breed standard. In my program, I place a special focus on health, temperament, pedigree, conformation, and compatible breeding histories within my breeding stock. I am devoted to always having responsible practices not only when it comes to breeding and training my dogs, but when rehoming them, too!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
