Do you mean Japanese Akita or Akita? In the UK (and the rest of the world besides the US and Canada) there are two seperate breeds of Akita.

The Japanese Akita Inu is fairly uncommon in the UK, there are only a handful of breeders, take a look at:

The Akita (American) breed has a large fan base in the UK with many top breeders, here are some of them:

Any of those breeders should be happy to help you find the pup of your dreams! Good luck.

Try your local rescue, Akitas often end up in rescue. Whatever you do please don't buy one. We live in a disgusting society where people breed despite homeless dogs losing their lives.

They are just called Akitas now – unless you are after a Japanese Akita Inu.
They are a wonderful breed but not to be recommended to the novice owner. I certainly wouldn't recommend getting one from rescue if you have young children.
Contact the Secretary of the Akita Association who should be able to put you in touch with reputable breeders.
Akitas have a lot of health problems and there is a lot of indiscrimante breeding going on – make sure you know all the health checks the parents should have before buying and don't buy a pup which isn't KC Reg.
Good Luck. They are the best breed in the world!

The best thing to do is go along to some championship shows on the days when Akita's are being judged and speak to the breeders there. If you want a show dog it will have to have an excellent breed standard, and you will have to find a breeder who is willing to sell on a dog who has show potential. You can also contact the breed club. There is also breed rescue. Research this breed carefully before you have one. Choose the breeder carefully. There are some Akita's in rescue who also need homes so your may want to consider one of them.

Have a look at the Kennel Club website. It will give you a list of all the accredited breeders in your area, as well as contact details etc.

I don't own one, but I know a good website.
Here you go.

Make sure you have done ALL your research on this breed before deciding to buy!

ummm they might have some in the UK and maybe you can see what types of breeds that they have and they might have some puppies or otherwise I have seen puppies in Asutralia and you can get one from YAPS and some of them are like say for example $200

If you want to show then look at the Kennel Club site for some Akita winning dogs – then contact those kennels.

Kennel Club will have links to breed clubs too.

If for a pet you will find quite a few at Battersea Dogs home (the dog is not for everyone and get's abandoned A LOT!) Battersea will rehome all over the country.

Good Luck
