Founded by Esther Zhang, AKINOKAZE is committed to preserving the quality and characteristics of this noble breed. The name “Akinokaze,” meaning “autumn breeze” in Japanese, reflects the gentle and warm nature of the Akita, which the business aims to nurture in every puppy.

AKINOKAZE also provides lifetime support to puppy owners, offering guidance on diet, training, and health management. The breeders are passionate about sharing their knowledge and experiences, encouraging outdoor adventures that help shape the Akita’s calm and confident personality.
With a strong commitment to responsible breeding practices, AKINOKAZE carefully matches puppies with compatible owners, ensuring they find loving forever homes. The breeders conduct thorough research on each bloodline and perform health checks on all imports, including hip and elbow evaluations and blood tests. This dedication to quality and care is evident in the success of their breeding program, which has produced award-winning Akitas. AKINOKAZE strives to be a leader in the Akita breeding community, continuously seeking opportunities to learn and improve for the benefit of their dogs and their future families.
