I'm the breeder behind Loyally Akitas located in Omaha, NE. We strive to produce quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive and have wonderful temperaments. As breeders, we feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of our puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes.
Q. & A. with Irene
Why did you start breeding?
Our dogs are 95% ready for conformation. We actually bought them for show but minor flaws made that impossible. We breed to find the perfect balance of beauty and temperament. It has been an absolute joy of a journey and we pride ourselves on helping all of our clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.
What makes your program special?
We raise all of our dogs with love in our home. We have high expectations for our puppies and make sure to place each one in an enriching and loving home that will match their temperament and personality. We complete various health tests prior to breeding and we breed for quality, not quantity. Each puppy is greatly loved by us! We ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. Our dogs are bred for those specifics, and we take pride in our breeding program.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
