“Our puppies will usually fall between $2500-$3500, though there may be some exceptions. Prices will be based on each individual puppy and may depend on color, gender, or the particular breeding. Prices will also differ between pets or dogs meant for breeding/show. Breeding/show rights may be available for approved puppies going to approved homes. These puppies would will include the additional paperwork and breeder support needed for show/breeding. The deposit for the waitlist is refundable. A deposit holding a specific puppy that has been removed from availability is considered a “holding fee” and is then Non-Refundable. The waitlist deposit becomes the holding fee when a puppy is chosen.”

Katsu (formerly known as Mitsushiro) has brought so much joy to our lives. After losing our GS in December 2024, it was a very thoughtful decision to have another pup. With that said, we wanted to go with a reputable breeder, and we are so thankful to come across Erin and her Akitas. Katsu is very well tempered with bouts of energy that makes him so fun loving. He took to his crate immediately and potty training has been pretty much a breeze. We’re using a bell on the door and just in 2 weeks, he’s been using it to signal he wants to go outside. We’ve only had 3 accidents in the house. I credit his temperament and personality to Erin and her carefully selected pack. We are still in awe. He can sit, lay down, walks on a leash, comes, and can heel. Very receptive to training (we use kibble mostly). We definitely see the stubborn side everyone mentions when it comes to Akita’s. Just have to be consistent and patient. Erin was amazing at answering all of my questions. She would go into detail when needed and it was really helpful. All in all, a wonderful experience and breeder. One of the rare ones that has full checkups done -and- posted and with AKC registration (pending but coming!). Had I gone for distance, I could’ve gone with someone in CA but Erin’s pups are worth the flight.

Erin was fast at responding to messages and took great care of the puppies. I enjoyed looking at the pictures and videos of the litter in the weeks leading up to taking my sweet girl home. Jade is great with other dogs and cats, and getting her has been a great experience all around!

I flew in to pick up my fur baby with complete confidence because Erin is such a wonderful person. She is great with communication. It was truly a pleasure working with you and thank you for the opportunity to have one of your babies. We promise to spoil her the way every dog should be spoiled.

+8It was a great experience to work with Erin. Everything went smooth and she was very professional. Paperworks were clear and easy, she informed everything we needed to know. Erin shared so many pictures from whelping to the day we picked up the puppy. We are very satisfied and happy that we could get a puppy from her.
