AKIYAMA NO ROUSHYA KISHU & SHIKOKU PUPPIES
The base cost for a puppy from Akiyama no Roushya is $3000. Akiyama no Roushya is currently the only active breeder of Kishu Ken in North America with OFA health tested breeding dogs who are titled in sports and conformation. This is for pet, show, sport, and breeding dogs. Puppies are not priced differently based on expectations, but will be placed differently due to them (for example, a dog with an obvious mismark or DQ trait would not be placed with someone looking for a show dog.) This is a not-for-profit preservation and conservation effort for the breed, meaning this money is put directly into the puppies and the dogs that produce them. Your puppy payment goes to your puppy directly, to the breed club, to breed education, to health data, and to much more. Akiyama no Roushya puppies are multi-registered to allow puppy owners interested in sports the most flexibility available and give pet owners access to consistent ancestry information.
This amount does not include transportation but does include the work and vet appointments for transportation. I highly recommend coming to pick your puppy up in person. I am also willing to transport your puppy to you, time permitting, but this will be an additional cost. Cargo shipping has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic but can be arranged. I have found the most cost effective and worry-free transportation options to be through Alaska Airlines with pets flown as checked baggage. Kishu Ken puppies at 8-12 weeks are too large to fly in the cabin.
This amount is to be paid by the time the pup is 6 weeks of age unless otherwise agreed upon. A holding fee of $500 is taken in order to enter the waiting list for a puppy after you are interviewed and approved for a puppy. This holding fee is good toward your puppy fee and does not ever expire. Expect a 1-2 year wait from the time you submit your holding fee to the time an appropriate puppy is born. You may always opt to wait for a later litter, but you may not be able to place a holding fee late and get on board for an earlier litter due to the high volume of previous inquiries. Puppies are matched based on the marriage of personality, owner requirements, and length of time an individual has been waiting. I do my best to provide you with the most appropriate puppy in a timely manner.
If you are residing outside of North America, cost of import and time spent with me after 10 weeks will increase the puppy's cost. Puppies may generally be exported to Europe at 17 weeks (assuming rabies vaccine is administered at 14 weeks - some vets will not administer the vaccine until 16 weeks, which will drive the age of import up to 19 weeks.) With the additional vet visits required on European exports, this may increase the puppy cost as much as $300, before transportation costs (but this will include additional vaccinations, deworming, paperwork, and health certificates required.) To Australia and countries with stricter import/export laws needing puppies to be even older, this may be higher.
