Hanko Akitas

Home At The Shows Hanko's K9 Klan Find a New Friend Suggested Reading Who Am I?

Have you SEEN red? I mean really RED-with the triangular eyes, broad, flat top skull & small, furry ears of the Japanese Akita? Prepare yourself-this breed-having proper type-resembles no other! We're not referring to the Saint X Shepherd cross type Akitas-but those having ALL of the Japanese characteristics (including personality plus!!!) that set it apart as AKITA. WE ARE PLEASED TO OFFER A FEW RED PUPS FROM our current Litter out of Hanko Shesho Mai Tai Pei by Milstolpen's Kintos to Hanko Sunroc, 2008 World Show Best of Breed winner. (see Kinto's page) (See below for a few examples of what this breeding has produced! Our own precious girl, Keiko, has her own page.) Don't delay, contact us today for an application and a chance to own your own RED Akita! 

Look at the find a friend page to see the pictures of the new puppies available 07-28-09.

Shown here right out of the yard and 5 weeks pregnant, Sheena is sweetness itself; having a consistently upbeat, loving personality. Her natural desire to please makes her a delight to live with. Sheena also has a very low level of dog aggression. Since dog aggression can often be a strong in the Akita,  we have worked very hard to reduce this trait. Our Akitas will stand up when necessary but few of them seek to initiate trouble. Sheena has been found, on occasion, playing with her puppies and one or another of her female cousins! Although both girls seem to know that the situation is unusual neither one is unhappy with the chance to socialize. I can't guarantee that your particular puppy can spend a lifetime at the dog park we do have quite a few with their families able to play nicely with others.

Our application process my take awhile but it really helps us to match our puppies up with the very best families. Contact us in plenty of time to fill out an application, get a deposit in place to reserve a puppy, and puppy proof your home. I will make all the time necessary to respond to questions and concerns. We will help you prepare for your pups arrival, including suggested reading. While we do offer shipping it is recommended that you visit, if possible, in order to meet the parents. On some occasions the sire may be unavailable, due to show commitments, other owners, etc. but we hope you can meet Mom. Letters of reference are available if you are unable to meet with us in person. Our dogs enjoy meeting people, responding enthusiastically to visitors, so please wear appropriate play clothes! Sheena is out of MISO by TETSU. (see the "At The Shows" page)

All puppies are sold on a LIMITED, non-breeding, basis. 

Puppies are sent home with our own CD packed with Akita tips, information and help, but AKITA, Treasure of Japan, vol. 2, written by Barbara Bouyet, is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for ALL Akita owners. If you're hoping to get one of our puppies please plan to purchase this book and make time to read it BEFORE bringing your puppy home.

KINTO,

 

Ears will seem long and the body gangly during the teenage phase, but you can see the mature dog emerging. These pups, out of Sheena by Kinto, are fast approaching their adult majesty. When walking your Akita try not to be annoyed when approached by strangers. They will have many questions, and praise for your dog as most people have not had the chance to see this type of Akita. You will play an important part in socializing your puppy. Although we will lay the groundwork, including eye contact training, it is up to you to make certain that your dog meets many different people, encountering different situations, learning by experience how to cope with an ever changing environment.
It is essential for your Akita to tolerate all sorts of people and situations such as wheel chairs, bicycles, walkers, horns, sirens, traffic, life in general, in order to be a well rounded canine good citizen. It is our goal to find the best possible placement, a forever family, for each and every puppy. We want to help you too, in your search for the best match for you. If this is one of our pups, congratulations, if not we will be happy to make suggestions to help you in your search.

If YOU have been wanting to add a FurBaby to your family call Cindy at 909-621-9435. 

Please email akitashanko@earthlink.net and if you would like a call back please include your phone number. APPLICATION APPROVAL IS REQUIRED (by mail or by email) to reserve a current or future puppy. Once an application has been approved a deposit is REQUIRED to reserve a puppy. There are no Akitas available for breeding from Hanko Akitas.

We are happy to say that many of our Akita friends return for future dogs.  Some of their children, with families of their own, come to get their own Akita.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your visit.
