SINCE 1989

​

CJ's Sho-Me Akitas is a small kennel located in a small rural town about an hour west of St. Louis, MO. on 7 acres.

We are dedicated to preserving the Akita breed; striving to produce healthy, sound, stable Akitas with correct structure and temperament by adhering to the standard, competing in AKC conformation shows, OFA & CERF testing, and constantly trying to educate and improve ourselves.

​

We are proud members of the Akita Club of America and The Midwest Akita Club

​

If we don't have what you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to steer you in the direction of another reputable breeder or a reputable rescue. You can also visit the Akita Club of America website, linked above, and refer to the breeder directory. This website is also an excellent source of general information about the breed, training, events, and things you can do with your Akita such as scent work and fast cat. The dogs thoroughly enjoy these performance events and they are a great opportunity for bonding.

​

Please consider donating to an Akita rescue or even fostering or adopting. We personally set up a monthly donation that is applied automatically to the ACA rescues. Our rescues have been overflowing lately with an influx of backyard breeders who are not willing to take their dogs back and selling puppies to homes who did not do their research and are not equipped to have an Akita.
