Sundara Akitas
Meet the breeder
I'm Marina C., the breeder behind Sundara Akitas located in Bradington, FL. I offer top-quality Akita puppies with a focus on health, form, and function. I believe quality is more important than quantity. My focus is on maintaining the Akita standard by raising structurally sound pups with excellent temperaments and great health. I take great pride in my breeding program. What sets us aside in our breeding practices is that our dogs must pass all health clearances recommended by OFA(Orthopedic foundation of animals) to attain the CHIC certification. This increases the chances of life long health.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Sundara Akitas reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Akita.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
OFA/CHIC DNA Repository
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
