Meet the breeder

I'm Donna B., the breeder behind Liberty Whippets located in Sand Springs, OK. We believe it IS possible to have it all... Correct breed structure, true breed type, and outstanding temperaments. Keeping that in mind with each and every carefully planned breeding has helped produce the dogs we have today! We strive for a versatile dog who can compete in multiple venues.

Q. & A. with Donna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Mike acquired his first Akita in 1979, with no intention of ever showing, he just fell in love with the breed. Just 10 years later, in 1989 he was hooked by the show bug and bought his first show dog. Joto Soretsu Tora Inu. Joto finished his championship and Mike was hooked. Mike has continued since then with a selective but successful breeding program. My love for dogs has been a life long passion. My start in the show world began in obedience with, of all breeds, a basset hound. I fell in love with Akitas quite by accident but has never looked back. My first Akita was a companion that she managed to single out. We met, at where else, a dog show. Not only that but an Akita specialty. It took a little while for things to get rolling, but once we were off it was obvious it was right! We were married on July 6th, 2001 and the three of us became a family. Mike, London, and I debated on which kennel name to use, we decided to come up with a completely new one… Liberty Akitas was born. It is our love of the American Akita that helped us decide the name.

  • What makes your program special?

    Mike and I consider ourselves very ethical breeders. We always have a goal in mind, and a plan to get there. All of our dogs are health screened. We place only what we feel is the best, to represent our kennel, in show homes.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Donna has been wonderful! The adoption process went very easily and she was always available to answer any questions. Our puppy clearly has been loved, he is so well adjusted, curious, and generous with his cuddles and kisses. We are so grateful to Donna.

    Donna was amazing and so far our new puppy has been great. His name is officially Captain, in honor of my best friend since childhood who passed away last week. He was a Captain in the Air Force when he retired a few years ago. I will share some pictures over the coming weeks as he grows and becomes the beautiful and athletic dog that we sought. Thanks again Donna and Liberty Whippets. Cap is a perfect addition to our family! Take care
