She possesses excellent bone, strong structure, and correct type, making her a standout example of the breed. Like all of our breeding dogs, she has completed comprehensive health testing, including hips, elbows, eyes, and thyroid, to ensure strength, soundness, and genetic health. Sky is incredibly sweet-natured and affectionate, with a personality that wins over everyone she meets. Her combination of structure, temperament, and pedigree makes her both an exceptional family companion and a valued contributor to our program.

TLC 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.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
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.

I recently purchased my fourth Akita from Ashley, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. One of the things that has always been most important to me is working with a breeder who is truly dedicated to the breed, and Ashley has spent many years responsibly breeding Akitas with a long history of healthy, well-bred dogs. This puppy, Poppy, is my first long-haired Akita, and she is absolutely wonderful. Ashley was easy to communicate with throughout the entire process and kept me informed every step of the way. When Poppy’s original flight was canceled, Ashley immediately took care of rescheduling her travel and made sure she arrived safely as promised. Ashley’s commitment to her dogs, professionalism, and genuine care for her puppies and their families is evident in everything she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy, well-bred Akita from a knowledgeable and responsible breeder. We are thrilled to welcome Poppy into our family!

After searching for a long-coated Akita (Woolie) for almost a year and dealing with dead ends and scammers, finding Ashley felt like striking gold. From the very beginning, she was personable, upfront, and completely honest. We had a unique situation where it was unclear if our first choice, Maya (formerly Posie), would turn out to be a Woolie, though we knew our second choice (Promise) definitely was. Ashley went above and beyond by reserving both puppies for seven days until she could confirm Maya's coat type. Most breeders would demand an immediate choice rather than taking two dogs off the market, but Ashley accommodated us graciously, which meant the world to us. Throughout the dame’s (Tymber) pregnancy, Ashley kept us well-informed and quickly answered all our questions. Once the litter arrived, she sent regular photo and video updates. We were initially stressed about getting Maya to our state, but Ashley handled all the flight logistics seamlessly, which was a massive relief. When we picked Maya up from the airport, we knew we had made the right choice. She was understandably a bit anxious from the trip, but she looked incredibly healthy. We expected a long adjustment period, but within 30 seconds of letting her out in our front yard, she was running everywhere and asking for belly rubs! Working with Ashley was not just a great business experience; it was a reminder that there are still genuinely good people out there who take pride in making others happy. If this review doesn’t convince you to go with her, it’s truly your loss. Thank you, Ashley, for everything!"

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
