The Moment a Family
Meets Their Dog
This is a male puppy by Grand Champion Asa out of Kazia. The family drove to Sussex County to pick him up. What happened when they walked in is exactly why this program exists.
Champion Bloodlines. Every Apexx puppy is the product of full OFA health testing, deliberate pedigree selection, and eight weeks of structured early development before any family takes one home.
Sussex County, New Jersey. Dad was fighting back tears. Their daughter was beside herself. Moments like this one have been happening at Apexx Akitas since 2003 and they never get old.
