We would like to give you the chance to view our kennels, gardens and our home. We live approx 4 miles outside of the city 'Elgin' in the North East of Scotland. We are surrounded by open countryside and have ample space for our dogs to enjoy free - run exercise in our own gardens.

Our kennels are 6 ft wide by approx 12 ft deep, they are fully covered with a "keep cool" roof, have a full drainage system and in the winter have heat lamps installed for our dogs comfort. The sleeping compartments are fully insulated and the kennels positioned in a lovely shaded area of the yard ensuring during the summer months they are not in full sun, and in the harsh, windy winter months they are sheltered from the strong wind and Scottish rain. Inside the sleeping area is a thick bed of sawdust and straw, which the dogs enjoy scratching up and making it their own.

During the day our dogs spend very little time in their kennels. We are very lucky that most of our Akita's will run freely together without any problems, as a result they are mainly left running free in the "Main Yard" (pictured below). However when the need arises (bitches in season) we have a second yard where we can separate the dogs when required. All of our dogs spend time in the house as a family on a daily basis, and when they are not in the house there is always one of us out and about the gardens, playing fetch or running around with the dogs. There is always a radio playing away in the kennels during the day which the dogs seem to enjoy.

At night our kennels have full lighting and our dogs kennel doors are left open, giving them free access to the yard until around 11pm, after that its time for bed, the lights go out, the doors are closed, the radio is switched off and they all enjoy a biscuit before hitting the hay .... and the madness starts all over again in the morning.

We have a separate Kenneling area which we use for visiting dogs and a large food store where we keep all of our dog foods, sawdust, straw and grooming equipment. All of our puppies are raised in our home and are never left unattended outdoors. We have a small yard to the front of our home which is where our puppies are introduced to the outside world at approx 5 to 6 weeks, it is here they can see passing traffic, plants, passers by and hopefully learn to go "toilet" outside. This socialization lasts for approx 1 to 2 hours a day, the puppies are never left unattended and only when the weather permits.

We thank you for taking the time to read this section of our web site and we hope to update it with further pictures in the coming months. If you have any further enquiries then please feel free to contact us.
