Contact: You may email us at- cjs.sho.me.akitas@gmail.com; or text 636-235-6070; if interested in acquiring a puppy or a retired adult or just fill out our application and we will reach out to you.

Apply: An APPROVED home application is REQUIRED. Please click on the button below to fill out our form. Filling out the application is not a sign of commitment for either party. We reserve the right to decline any home we do not see fit. If your application is approved we will let you know and talk more.
​
Contract: If you are approved and commit to getting an Akita from us, our companion or show contract must be signed by both parties before proceeding. Our contracts are straight forward and the intention is to ensure our beloved pups are well cared for. We are not looking to "micro-manage" but do expect any pup that leaves us to be fed quality food, receive regular veterinary care, live in your home, and be treated and loved as a family member. Please remember puppies are FRAGILE, even large Akita puppies. They are extra susceptible to injuries during the growth phase. It is important to limit exercise within reason, play, etc. especially with other large dogs and also important to prevent them from becoming too "heavy". 
Pet puppies are to be spayed or neutered at 18-24 months of age to allow for healthy growth and carefully managed so they are not bred. Breeding, either on purpose or accident, will result in a monetary penalty per our contract. We do enforce this. We take guarding ours and other's bloodlines very seriously as we have all put so much work into our dogs and reputations.
Show puppies are to be shown and finished by age 2 and have all passing OFA and CAER tests done before breeding to approved dogs. If you are new to showing, we are more than happy to help guide you so long as we feel confident that you truly want to do things right. 
 
Deposit: If you are approved and have signed our contract, we will accept a non-refundable deposit of $500. 
 
Picks: Pet puppy picks are made in order of deposit placements BUT we reserve the right to "hold" all puppies until 8 week evaluations to choose our keepers and show quality puppies might be held back to find a show home.
Our number one priority is a successful placement for our pups so they can thrive in the perfect home. 
 
Payment: Our pet puppy price is $3,000 and show puppy price is $3,500. After paying the $500 deposit; the remaining balance of $2,500 will be due BEFORE pick up or shipping.
Small rehoming fee applies to retired adults. 

Pick up & shipping: We prefer pick up from our home but shipping is an option as well, at the buyer's expense. We will deliver to St. Louis Lambert airport free of charge or meet within a reasonable distance at no cost. Usually Barb, Casey or another family member can transport out of state via driving or as flight nanny to travel with the puppy in cabin. We will NOT send our puppies off on ground transport with any company but sometimes we can arrange for a pup to hitch a ride with a trusted member of the dog community on the way to or from dog shows, etc. 

General information: I plan to start working on a document soon, it will cover general information about raising a puppy, what we recommend for products such as food, grooming supplies, etc. This document will go home with every puppy and we hope it will make life easier for everyone during the fun but sometimes challenging transition; for families who may be new to raising a puppy or are just "rusty" and for puppies who will be in a new home with all new people. We are also always considering what things we should send home with each puppy. We send food, favorite toys, records, etc. but please let us know if there is anything in particular you would like for us to send.
