I'm Demond F., the breeder behind Magnolia Akitas located in Birmingham, AL. We focus on intentional breeding so that we can produce quality puppies that are excellent representations of the standard. We strive to produce well-rounded, balanced puppies that make exceptional family companions that have the ability to succeed in a variety of competitive and sporting events. Here at Magnolia Akitas, we've loved the breed since 1989 when we got our first puppy. It's hard finding a family pet from reputable breeders that really care. We don't just place Akitas with families, we've trained a few service dogs to support PTSD. We have 3 Akitas in hospitals and 4 with families as Service/Therapy Dogs. We also have a Grand Champion, a Champion and a few Akitas in the show ring now so our pedigrees are pretty impressive to us. We are a military family that believes in Honor, Courage and Commitment so honesty is very important to us. If you're looking for some big boned Akitas with beautiful headpieces and exceptional temperments then, look no further. You choose your puppy and we send you the puppy that you selected. The puppies come with a 2 year written health guarantee and a lifetime of support. References are available upon request. Serious inquiries only please. Thanks for showing interest in our puppies.
