In their own words
We are a husband/wife team, Ritchey and Melissa, and we are located in Edwardsville, Illinois (Metro St Louis).
After losing our first Akita, Easton - aka 'Big E', to a life long battle with an auto immune disorder, our love for him and the characteristics of his breed coupled with our desire to find a uniquely patterned Akita with healthy lineage is where our passion for Akitas and our principles of breeding for the health, temperament, and the overall betterment of the breed was born.
Our dogs live in our home, alongside of our family, and are frequently socialized to new people, experiences, and situations as part of our every day lives.

Before you call a Akita breeder
- Health results for both parents. Good breeders test the parents for the health problems common in the breed (hips, eyes, heart, DNA tests) and show you the paperwork. The breed club lists the tests that matter.
- See the mother with the litter, in person or on a live video call, not only photos.
- A real breeder asks you questions about your home and schedule, and often has a waitlist.
- Never wire money or pay with gift cards or crypto before you have seen the puppy. That is how most puppy scams work.
