Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Akasha Wind located in Indiana. We proudly call ourselves preservation breeders and maintain the highest expectations for ourselves as such. Our dogs and puppies are excellent representations of their breed, health tested (OFA and genetic), and loved. Quality temperament, structure, socialization, and health are the principal components of our success as reputable breeders. We strongly believe in matching each puppy to each approved family to ensure the best fit.

Frederick’s experience

  • About Frederick

    I started training dogs when I was 14-years of age (I'm now in my mid 40s). My first dog successfully competed in Utility level obedience and won many trophies. I have been involved in the dog world ever since. I have professionally trained puppy classes, agility classes, and obedience classes. I have also competed and won many awards in obedience, agility, and conformation over the years.

  • What makes Frederick’s program special

    We work with original overseas bloodlines in order to maintain the cherished and defining characteristics of our breeds. We will never compromise the quality of the dogs we produce through poor, questionable, or unethical breeding practices. Our primary goal is breed preservation.
