Welcome to the online home of Black Knight American Akitas! We're glad you found us. Come in, sit, stay and enjoy your visit!

In this site, you'll find information about the Akita, our dogs, our philosophy and even how to find a new family member. If you're at a show, come up and say hello!

Please remember to look up our BLACKLIST page to find information on kennels/people who may want to avoid. Updated as new information reaches us and is verified. Yeah- it's a PITA to deal with, you don't see other breeders doing this (they're scared) and I take a lot of harassment for it but we're absolutely committed here to the protection of our breed and the protection of your family.

We encourage you to seek out rescue groups and akitas in need of rehoming before considering a puppy purchase- but we understand adoption is not for everyone. Please remember that local shelters and organizations need your help to continue their good work. Donate your time, your money and your skills to them. Groups such as the deceptively named Humane Society of the United States are NOT your local shelter and do not support them in any way- in fact, they typically CHARGE in the tens of thousands to 'evaluate' shelter procedures. When they do make grants, it is often not for food, supplies or medical care- it's for the creation and distribution of pro vegan propaganda to school children (along with tips on how to be a junior lobbyist, for kids as young as five). Don't believe us? Ask your local shelter when or if they have ever received a cent from HSUS. The answer will be NO. Give locally. Donate. Volunteer. Adopt!
