Companion puppies are $2500-$2800 with limited AKC registration and excellent champion bloodlines.

Some of the value included is the health and temperament testing that we do for the grandparents, parents and also for your puppy to help insure that you get the happiest, healthiest, puppy possible. We also believe that the environment, care and socialization that our puppies have from the time they're born until they leave for their new homes is very important to their overall health and temperament as adults.

We also offer lifetime support for our puppy parents, including a private facebook group "Main Street Akitas Furry Family" for all of our puppy parents to stay in touch, ask us questions and see pictures and videos of your puppy's littermates and extended family.

We highly value our puppies and want them to go to the best homes. We invite you to come visit us and see the value of a Main Street Akita puppy for yourself.

If you’re looking for a full AKC registration for showing or breeding please reach out to talk about prices and options.

For deposits we accept Paypal, Venmo, ApplePay, Zelle, check or cash. If you are mailing a check it must arrive at least 3 weeks before puppy pick up day.

The balance can be paid by Paypal, Venmo, ApplePay, Zelle, or cash. when you pick up your puppy. We do not accept checks on puppy pick up day.

If we are flying your puppy to you the balance is due two weeks prior to the flight to allow enough time to schedule all your puppy's personal travel arrangements.

Please note that Paypal charges a 3% processing fee that will be added to your balance.

Your puppy will come with all their current puppy vaccinations and de-worming records, vet check report card, limited AKC registration papers, 1 yr genetics health guarantee, a bag of PawTree dog food, vitamin samples and puppy samples, and a puppy pack with other helpful information and tips to get you started.

We require a $500 deposit to reserve a puppy for you. Deposits are non-refundable, but can be applied to another puppy or to a puppy from the next available litter. If you see a puppy that you like, please call to verify that it is still available before sending your deposit.

We will hold your puppy for a few days to allow time for a deposit to be sent. After that time if we don't receive your deposit and don't hear from you, the puppy will be available to the next person in line.

When we receive your deposit we will notify you that your puppy is reserved for you. The remaining balance is due when you come to pick up your puppy or two weeks prior to shipping if we are flying your puppy home to you.

Cargo shipping is around $650 to most US locations and $750 to Alaska or Canada. For an exact shipping quote please email us with the two closest airports to your location and we'll confirm the price for you.

Another option is a pet nanny who is hired to fly with your pet in the cabin and deliver them directly to you at the airport. The price for that service is usually around $800-$1200 and the puppy must be under 20lbs, which they are at 8 weeks old, but are usually getting to big for that option by 9-10 weeks old.

We also offer ground transportation and quotes for that can vary a lot based on your location.

Your puppy will have a vet health certificate before flying and will fly in a temperature controlled cargo area that is kept at the same temperature and pressure as the rest of the cabin. Your puppy will also be given water along the way to be sure he stays hydrated.

Your puppy will have a comfortable travel crate that's big enough to stand up and stretch and lay down to sleep. It will also have a towel or crate pad on the bottom for comfortable bedding.

The average flight time is from 3-6 hours and young puppies sleep a lot so most of that time will pass very quickly for them. The puppies are also the last on the plane and the first to get off.

Another option is for your puppy to fly with you in the cabin as "carry on" as long as he's still under 20lbs. This requires an airline approved carry on dog carrier. If you prefer this option we can recommend some carriers that have worked best for us and send you information on where to purchase it or we keep extra carriers here that can be purchased while you’re here.

We recommend an all natural, meat based food and treats, without corn, wheat & soy. Akitas can be more sensitive to lesser quality ingredients and fillers than some other breeds so it's best to avoid them.

We feed all our dogs and puppies "Life's Abundance All Life Stages" dog food and “PawTree Chicken & Oatmeal” and we highly recommend that you continue on one of those. We recommend that you order your food in advance or you can pick some up when you come to get your puppy. We use so much of it that we always keep a little extra on hand. :)

We start by feeding our very young puppies three times a day, but by the time they go to their new homes at 8-10 weeks old they are eating two times a day (morning & evening). Having them on a two meal a day schedule while they are a puppy makes housebreaking so much easier. They will be eating about 1 cup in the morning and 1 cup in the evening at 8-9 weeks old, but that will vary slightly with each puppy and increase gradually as they have growth spurts.

We have found it very helpful to crate train our dogs and puppies and highly recommend it. It's a good way to give them a safe place to be when you can't keep an eye on them and will speed up potty training and prevent any unwanted chewing while you're away. Akitas are very clean animals and don't like to go to the bathroom where they eat, play and sleep so crate training usually isn't a very long process. Akitas are naturally "den" animals and you'll notice that they like to sleep in small areas like under the couch, table, chairs, etc, because they feel safe and protected there. A crate provides them their own den or bed where they can go to relax and feel safe. You're puppy will already be started on crate training and potty training to make this easier for you. We use both wire and plastic crates with towels in the bottom and lots of chew toys to make it a fun place to be.

To start, put your puppy in the crate and give him a treat and several chew toys, but leave the door open so he can come back out on his own. Do this several times before you put him in and close the door. I like to put new toys and treats in their crates throughout the day so that they have to go in to get them if they want to play with them.

It's best to start with very short periods of time in the crate while you're home and be sure to give him a small treat each time you put him in his crate. Do not bribe him to go in with the treat, but lead him in and reward him with the treat and lots of praise after he is in the crate. Gradually increase the time that he is in his crate and be sure to leave toys and bones for him to chew on to keep him occupied.

Most of our dogs still sleep in their crates (beds) at night and as soon as we tell them that it's bedtime they make a beeline for their beds and wait in anticipation for their bedtime treats. It's also very helpful if you like to travel with your dog and stay in hotels or visit friends.

We use the x-large wire crates and also the x-large plastic crates and they can typically be found at the best price online. I like the wire crates so that they can see out and be part of the action even when they're in their beds. With the wire crate it's also easier to glance inside and see if they need to go out to go potty. The plastic crates also work well and some dogs prefer more of a den than the wire crates offer and might prefer the plastic crate so see what works best for you, either is fine. You can also drape a towel or blanket over a wire crate during nap times or at night to make their crate more of a den.

Each dog is different and each situation is different, but if you're consistent with them, most puppies adjust to being in their crate in the first week or two. If you're having trouble with crate training feel free to give us a call and we'll be glad to help!
