Pearl River Akitas are registered within the FCI, so each our puppy goes only with a FCI pedigree.
             We´ve been involved with the Akita breed more than 18 years. We have a lot of experiences not only with our dogs, but also dogs from other kennels, which we´re in touch or co-work with. And we´re proud some well respected American kennels are among our friends. I spent more than 7 years of my life in the USA, and I made a vast and intensive research about the Akita breeding there as I was thinkink to import a new blood line and refresh the breeding in my home country, Czech Republic. I fell in love with Akitas from the USA because of many reasons. For example, litters born in the Czech Republic at that time did not match the new standard adopted by FCI for Japanese Akita Inu. As the breed wasn´t yet splitted up, the breeders had to breed according to this regulation and made many crosses between dogs with Amercian pedigree to Japanese imports. We face the results of these crosses up to now. The other reason was genetic; there was very limited choice in the use of stud dogs and brood bitches so I wanted to bring a new blood line to widen the geen pool of the breed stock. Last, but not least, I just love the charcter and temperaments of Akitas in the US - I have never met any aggression toward a human there or another behavioral problems like those I met in our country.

             After some time, I started to look for a replacement for my very first American Akita - a male named "Cedric", who passed away in the age of 10 years and I still miss him very much. I started to communicate and then cooperate with some US kennels. After a selective breeding, we brought three new puppies during several months.Puppies are out of very good quality bloodlines. And finally after more than 15 years of experience and working with American Akita, we decided to have puppies of this beautiful, unique and loyal breed.
             I am a graduated in ethology and zoology, focusing on canine and dogs are by my side my whole life. I got my first dog when I was only 7 years old, after I was convincing my parents for a long time. It was a German Shepherd dog and he tightened my bond with dogs much more. Then I studied the behavior of dogs together with reparation of problematic behavior for may years and I continued later on at the Faculty of Science of the University in Olomouc. I finished my studies with a dissertation on ecology and ethology of canine carnivores, focusing on the wolf (Canis lupus). I also spent months observing the behavior of wolves in the American wilderness, and I´m using all my experiences in training and reparation of problematic behavior of dogs.

             All our dogs have excellent care. They are raised on the many years of professional working experience in the fields of zoology and ethology. We are helping our pups also with education and we try to provide them the largest scale of possible experiences, that they can live full and happy life. We take our dogs to the mountains, they rides down the river with us, accompanies us to work. The success of our dogs in different dog shows also demonstrates that our care is worth it. We're not trying to have puppies for puppies themselves. Health is one of our main goals. Our female Gimi had only two litters in her lifetime, and we do not plan frequent matings for the future as well.
             All our Akitas are HD free. We plan every breeding a lot in advance. The choosing of the right stud dog is our priority. Our male Torazo Pearl Ike Warrior aka "Ike" (imported from USA) who resides in our kennel, was used as a stud dog for our current B-litter and he fully meets all of our requirements and high demands for the stud dog. He is HD and ED free. He has very balanced character, he´s friendly, discreet and calm, which corresponds to the typical Akita temperament and the breed characteristics. He fully meets the standard. His results from the World Dog Show 2009 and 2010, many CAC, CACIB and club/specialty shows just give evidnece of this fact.

             Due the lack of possible sires and as we wanted to restore the gene pool, we decided to breed our bitch Kentucky Alchemist Dream Pearl (she comes from Kentucky too) just in USA. Choosing a stud dog was very difficult. Finally we´ve chosen a stud from Keepsake Akitas: Ch Mariah's Check and Balance aka "Checker". He´s a lovely dog with very balanced character, HD free and coming from a very successful show blood lines. He also got excellent show results. We made a research in his pedigree, were intersted about his parents, his siblings and puppies he sired.
             All our puppies are microchipped, regularly dewormed, vaccinated and have a pet passport. We try to be as much of help to new owners and we help them with any problem regarding taking care of the puppy. What to feed, how to raise one, how to prepare for shows. We are always ready to advise and help to solve any problem that may occur. New owners can come to us for help at any time. We help with showing and raising puppies.
             Puppy that may go to a new home at older age is fully ready to take its place within the new family. Puppy is house cleaned and well socialized. All puppies were regularly trained with anti-stress exercises from the second day of age and we taught them to cope with new unexpected situations. In this case, a new, mostly unexperienced owners, don´t have to undergo demanding work with a small puppy that needs constant supervision in a very important and challenging period of socialization.

             A selection of new owners is also very important to us. Until our puppies find the best possible home, they stay in our kennel. The future of our puppies is our major priority. With all the owners we stay in touch as we want to see how our puppies are doing. We don´t want our puppies to be kept in kennel or crate for a longer time, one of our conditions is that they must be members of the family. We definitely do not sell puppies to any re-sellers. If someone wants to sell our puppy, it must be offered back to us first. In this way we ensure our puppies are not a commercial article.
             The price matches the quality of our puppies and their parents. It is different for puppies with show and breeding qualities and for puppies that are selled as family companions only. It also depends on many factors and other terms of the sale, such as co-ownership, cooperation between kennels or possible future work of the dog such as the canine therapy dog. Because af all these things, it is not possible to quickly and clearly answer the telephone or email inquiries on a price - because price differences may be very big.
