We currently have two 15 weeks old puppies from my most recent litter, ready to find their new family.

All of my puppies are raised in our home from day one, so they are with us 24/7. We have two young children who are constantly interacting with them, as well as our other dogs in the house, so they are very used to everyday household life and attention. They are part of our family until they leave for their new homes.

Limited register/desexing contract only.

All puppies leave us with:
Full vet health check through Noahs Crossing Vet Clinic
Up to date Vaccinations
Microchipping
ANKC pedigree papers
Regular worming
Raised on Royal Canin Maxi Puppy & Prime 100 Slow Cooked Puppy

I do not breed often and my next possible litter won't be until late this year, early next.

If you’d like to move forward, the next step is just to complete our questionnaire so I can get a better idea of the home.

I couldn’t quite get my usual double photo this year so Xander showed off for Shokuma Akitas. Little Miss Ebonie decided to blow all of her undercoat just days before breed day 🙈 But even so, I’m over the moon with their performance. They always give me their all and make me so proud to stand beside them in the ring. 💕

🐾✨ We’re spending the day at the Royal Adelaide Show with our gorgeous, Ebonie & Xander! ✨🐾

We’ll be here until 5pm today, so if you’re visiting the show make sure you pop by, say hello, and meet them in person. They love all the attention and it’s a wonderful chance to see the breed up close, learn a little bit about them, and of course give them a pat (with permission 🥰).

It’s always such a pleasure to share these beautiful dogs with the public and to showcase what makes the American Akita such a special breed 💕

📍 Come find us in the dog section — we’d love to see some familiar faces and meet new ones too!

✨ Our beautiful girl Ebonie had an incredible weekend in the ring taking out Runner Up Best in Show, Best in Group, Australian Bred in Show and 2 x Australian Bred in Group! 🏆

She’s now counting down the last few points towards her Supreme, super exciting! 💫

Providing everything goes smoothly, we’re hoping Ebonie will be ready for mumma duties in the next few months – a new chapter we can’t wait to share with you all. ❤️🐾

𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙐𝙥𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙠𝙪𝙢𝙖 𝘼𝙠𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙨

Hey everyone! We've been a little quiet online and haven’t been out on the show circuit lately — and for a good reason! We recently welcomed our second human baby into the family, and our focus has been completely on settling into this special new chapter.

We’re really looking forward to getting the dogs back out and about, hopefully in the coming weeks🤞.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

We’ve also seen a few emails come through regarding puppies — at the moment, we don’t have any puppies available. We may consider a litter in the next 6–8 months and will keep you all updated as plans develop.

Thanks again for your continued support!

Thank you to our Breed judge Mrs Satu Yla-Mononen (Finland) for your kind words and awarding our young team.

I am so proud of these two young dogs, Xander only just turning 6 months and Ebonie 10 months. Their first royal and first indoor shows and both of them were lapping up all the attention throughout the days.

We cannot thank the team at Only Domestics enough for the great service provided for the transportation of 3 of our puppies in the last couple of weeks.
100% recommend for all our pet travel needs :)

How cute is this Akita! So lucky to meet this gorgeous man before he left Adelaide to his forever home.
