American Akita Puppies for Sale
Champion Bloodline American Akita Puppies from Apexx Akitas
If you have done your research and you have decided that an American Akita is the dog you want, this page is for you. Below is what we currently have in production, what families say about the dogs we have placed, and how to start the conversation.
Apexx Akitas has been breeding champion-bloodline American Akitas in Sussex County, New Jersey for over twenty years. Every breeding dog in our program is OFA tested and AKC registered. Every puppy is raised in our home. Every placement happens through a personal application process I review myself.

What an Apexx Akita Can Do
Before we get to current litters and how to apply, I want to share what these dogs actually become in the hands of the families they go to. The application process is long for a reason. The right placement produces dogs like these.
The Akita Who Saved Her Owner's Life
A family in Oklahoma bought their Apexx Akita from us several years ago. One night her dog woke her in the middle of the night, refusing to settle, refusing to go outside. The dog kept vocalizing, not barking or whining, but something different. The owner thought it was strange enough that she started filming.
On a hunch she took her own blood pressure. It was at emergency levels. She called for help and went to the hospital by ambulance. The doctors told her later that without that intervention, she would not have made it through the night.
The dog was recognized formally for what she did. The owner sent me a voice message a few days later that I have never forgotten. She said she loves the dog more than life itself. The dog had never done that before. She just knew.
This is what we breed for. Not the medical event itself, that is rare and specific. The temperament that makes a dog refuse to be ignored when something is wrong. The bond that makes a dog read her family closely enough to notice. The intuition that comes from generations of careful breeding for stable, attentive temperament.
Pastor Sergio's review is publicly verifiable on Google, alongside reviews from other placed families across the country. The 15-month support relationship he describes is the standard, not the exception.
Real Buyers Doing Real Diligence
Not every family who applies ends up placed. The serious ones often visit in person before deciding, and we encourage that whenever it is possible. The video below is one of those families. They visited our kennel in New Jersey before purchasing because they wanted to meet the parents in person and see how the puppies are raised. In their own words, they explain what made them choose Apexx Akitas.

Currently Breeding
Below are the current planned pairings. Litters from these breedings are matched with families through the application process. If a pairing reads as Open, applications are being reviewed for that litter. If it reads as Waitlist Only, families are being added to a list for the next available pairing of similar type. If a pairing has Closed, the litter has been fully spoken for.
We do not produce litters on a schedule. Each pairing below was selected based on health results, structural compatibility, temperament, and pedigree. Every breeding dog you see below carries full OFA clearances on both parents and is verifiable at ofa.org.

What Every Apexx Placement Comes With
Every dog I place comes with the same support structure regardless of where it goes or which pairing it came from.
That means complete OFA health testing on both parents, publicly verifiable at ofa.org. AKC registration. A signed contract that covers what I guarantee and what I expect from you. Lifetime breeder support, which means you call me with questions at year two or year seven. And a lifetime return policy. If for any reason you can no longer keep the dog, the dog comes back to me. That clause does not have an expiration date.
How to Get Started
The application is the start of the conversation. It is long for a reason. I want to know about your home, your previous experience with large breeds, your other dogs if you have them, your work schedule, your plans for training, and what specifically drew you to the American Akita.
What I am looking for is honesty about who you are and what you are committing to. I have placed dogs with first-time Akita owners who did the homework and turned out to be excellent homes. I have also turned down experienced applicants when something about the placement did not fit.
Once your application is reviewed, we talk. Phone, video, in person if you can travel. By the time a puppy is matched with you, we have built a real relationship and you understand exactly what you are bringing into your home.
