Akita Club of America
Akita Club of America breeds Akita in Hampton, VA, in the Hampton Roads region near Norfolk. It is recognized by the American Kennel Club and has promoted responsible breeding practices since its founding in 1937, with health screening for hips and eyes on all breeding stock.
Under Julia Dunford’s oversight, dogs live in home environments with daily socialization, varied outings and supervised interactions with children and other pets. Puppies undergo early neurological stimulation and a structured introduction to household sounds before joining their families. Training emphasizes calm confidence and respect, reflecting the breed’s dignified nature.
The club maintains a rescue program that places retired show dogs and overlooked adults in lifelong homes. Members share knowledge through quarterly newsletters and annual events, fostering a community around the breed’s history and well-being. Regular health clinics and temperament assessments help maintain breed standards and guide breeding decisions.
