Here are some very important points to consider when selecting a new puppy

Important information when selecting a new Akita!

Testing parents for genetic disorders (and certifying them in open registry databases) is one of the important differences between ethical, responsible breeders concerned about producing healthy purebred dogs and those who seek only to sell puppies for a little side income.

Puppy mills are not all dirty places in the Midwest. "Backyard breeders" often do not belong to breed clubs or participate in organized dog events. They do not participate in full health testing (hips, eyes and thyroid). Such people may produce many puppies, but they are often of poor breed quality. Because they do not test their
breeding dogs for these minimum health tests, they increase the incidence of unhealthy Akitas.

When considering acquiring any new purebred pet you have a right to have verification provided signifying that such tests have been performed. People who explain away why they don't do tests or only do hips, for example, should be avoided no matter how available the puppies are or how much in a hurry you are to get an Akita.

Simply put, breeders committed to producing healthy Akitas will certify such testing with recognized open registries & provide prospective homes with evidence of such testing before placing a puppy or adult .

Purebred dogs with normal testing results for the recommended disorders common in their breeds and which
are submitted to inclusion in an open health registry (see offa.org above) receive an additional certification
from the AKC-affiliated Canine Health Information Center ("CHIC") (info)

We exceed minimum requirements and test for additional potential disorders. Verification of testing and
testing info is available by searching the parents' names at http://www.offa.org

Minimize future health risks in your Akita's future by selecting puppies produced
only from provably health-tested parents and requiring proof of such testing or verifying it as described above.
THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY GUARANTEE!
