I highly recommend Full Moon Akitas. I spent several months researching Akita breeders, making many phone calls and asking a lot of questions on various Akita groups. My criteria was to get a healthy Akita puppy with a good temperament from good bloodlines. When I finally contacted Full Moon Akitas, I spoke with Chris, the owner for well over an hour. He was very nice and answered all of my questions always taking his time to explain things to me. He had also told me that he doesn't sell to just anyone and had a screening process and many questions for me as well. I really liked that because it showed me that he really cared about his dogs and wanted to make sure that they were placed in the proper environment with a loving family. We continued to talk on the phone and email up until the time I picked him up in February 2013. My dog will now be 5 years old November 2017. I decided to get another puppy from Full Moon Akitas last year at 8 1/2 weeks. She just turned a year in August 2017. I will never buy a dog from anyone else. Full Moon Akitas is a top notch breeder. To this day, almost five years later, I still speak with Full Moon Akitas over the phone as well as email any time I have questions. Full Moon Akitas and Regalia's Akitas are the absolute best. Both of my dogs are from Full Moon Akitas. My female puppy's dam is from Full Moon Akitas Wynter and the sire from Regalia's Ch. Flagstone. I wanted a female with a black mask and I always loved the way Flag looked so I was so excited when I heard about the breeding. She is spectacular in both looks and temperament. Also, I might add, when I went to pick up my male in 2013, I said hello to and pet everyone of Full Moon Akita's dogs. It was nice to see both of the my boy's parents. The kennels were clean, they had clean water and there was a lot of land for them to run around during playtime. The only problem I see in leaving this review is that there are only five stars and Full Moon Akitas should really get 10 stars! It you want a beautiful Akita with an good kind temperament and excellent health, I highly recommend Full Moon Akitas. read more
