BayCrest Akitas - Puppy Info


If you are interested in a puppy from one of our breedings we require our application to be filled out and sumitted for our approval along with a signed copy of our BayCrest's Myths/Promise. Your application MUST state your sexual preference or need-we will NOT place same sex Akitas in Non-Show Homes! Contact us for an application at baycrestakitas@hotmail.com (or just copy and paste our applicaiton at the bottom of this page). We will then contact you if we have approved your application and you will be invited to place a deposit on one of our puppies or a future breeding. Deposits are $250.00 and NON REFUNDABLE. If we can not provide you with a puppy from that breeding your deposit will be applied to our next breeding. If we invite you to place a deposit, it MUST be received within five mailing days-if your deposit is not rec'd within five days your application will be considered null and void. Companion Puppy Choices are given in the order deposits are received. "MOST" of our puppies are reserved and sold before they are born or by the time they are seven days old. Companion Puppies are usually $1400-$2000 (depending on the breeding) Show Potentials are by Private Treaty. ALL Show Potential Puppies will be placed on strict conformation show agreement contracts (this means the dog MUST be shown). This is the ONLY way we will place ANY dog on full registration. ALL puppies placed as companions will be placed on Limited Registrations and VERY strict spay/neuter contracts. We consider all of our puppies our children and as such we will only consider dedicated "life time" homes for them. We will go to great lengths to enforce the contracts on our children. We have placed many, many wonderful companion dogs who could have easily attained their AKC Championships-the "best" home for each puppy is our main concern. Please consider saving a life and rescuing a dog. We highly reccomend and support BEAR (Big East Akita Rescue) www.bigeastakitarescue.net We can also be contacted by phone (410) 673-7387 (please talk to the machine) or via mail 7112 East New Market Ellwood Rd.
