Q. & A. with Tom
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Akitas inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. I understand the important role that breeders have in being guardians for the future of the breed. I want to expand and improve my lines.What makes your program special?
My passion for this breed is the driving force behind why I do what I do. I decide to breed two dogs based on sound and temperament. I love to share information and pictures with others who love the breed. My dogs are part of my family and I spend a lot of time with them. I carefully vet all buyers who are interested in one of my puppies to ensure they get placed in well-matched, loving homes.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
