Welcome Litter D! Godzuki had four boys and two girls born on July 3rd, 2016. FAQ - PLEASE READ! Q: What are the puppies names and birth order? * Rainier (male) red collar * Shasta (female) purple collar * Adam (male) blue collar * Helen (female) green collar * Garibaldi (male) yellow collar * Lassen (male) orange collar Q: What breed are the puppies? A: Japanese Akita. Not the same thing as an American Akita, though people mistakenly use the wrong terms all the time. Q: Are these dogs rescues? A: No. They are purebred Japanese Akitas. Both parents come from Japan, and this breeding is part of our preservation efforts for this endangered breed. Q: Why do they sleep so much? A: They're still babies and they need to sleep a lot. Even when they get older, like most dogs they will nap frequently. Q: Why do they ...? A: Because they're puppies. Q: Why don't they ...? Why isn't there ...? A: Because they're too little. Q: When did the stream start? A: July 3rd, about 2 hours after the puppies were born. However, technical difficulties required starting a new stream on July 31st. Q: How long will this stream go on? A: Until the puppies are 12 weeks old, some time around September 25th or a little before. Q: Are the puppies for adoption? A: No, they have homes already waiting for them. Q: What is the point of this live stream? A: So the future owners can watch their puppies grow up, and so that we (the breeders) can monitor them when we're not in the same room. Q: Where are the puppies? A: In a private residence in Lakewood, California. They have en entire bedroom setup that encompasses the whelping box, potty grass, playpen, and momma's area to relax and take a break. They will also have a private yard when they're older. Q: Will we see when the pups are in the playpen or yard? A: Yes, the camera will be moved to those locations. Q: Why aren't all six puppies on screen? A: There are some areas the camera can't see just below it. We might add second camera for PNP to address this issue after the puppies move to the playpen. Q: What is the green stuff off camera? A: That is the potty grass, the puppies' toilet area. They're still learning to use it, of course, and in the meantime they sometimes sleep there. Q: Will you add a camera pointed at the grass area? A: No, we will not point a camera at the potty grass. Period. END OF DISCUSSION. Toilet fetish is disgusting, so just stop. Q: Where is the mom? A: She is almost always lying on the floor just outside the grass keeping an eye on her pups. Sometimes she may be outside to go to the bathroom herself, or eating dinner or having some "me time" with her humans. Q: Why isn't momma in with the puppies? A: She comes and goes as she pleases, and is a good and attentive mother. She will be in with the pups at meal times or whenever else they need her. As they become more independent, she will come in to nurse them less but play with them more. Q: Who is that human in with the puppies? A: The lady with red and green hair is "Mrs. Kaiju" and the balding man is her husband "Mr. Kaiju." The older lady with graying hair is Mrs. Kaiju's mom, Grandma Kaiju. Anyone else is a friend of the family or future puppy owner. Q: The puppies sometimes "nurse" on each others' privates, is this normal? A: Yes. Some pups have a very strong instinct to suckle and it gives them comfort, like a kid sucking his thumb. They'll grow out of it. Q: Can we see the father on the stream? A: No. Other adult dogs are not allowed in the whelping room because they don't help with raising puppies and could stress momma. MORE INFO The mother's name is Godzuki. The father's name is King Ghidora. We own both parents. The puppies' color is called brindle or tora (tiger). They were born around noon on July 3rd. Although they appear almost black now, the puppies will have coloration like their mom when they grow up. The parents are purebred Japanese Akitas from Japan. They are not American Akitas or mixed with American Akita. They have health clearances for hips and eyes through OFA and an independent thyroid panel. We show our dogs in AKIHO, NIPPO, and UKC. We also do nose work, lure coursing, and barn hunt. We are members of AKIHO and the Japanese Akita Club of America (JACA) and work tirelessly to preserve and protect the breed. We occasionally foster dogs for rescue and often give financial assistance to Akita rescues through JACA Cares or directly. The puppies are NOT AVAILABLE. We have a long waiting list and lots of great homes to choose from before we even begin planning a litter. Our screening process is very selective. All pups come with health warranties, microchip, spay/neuter if sold as a pet, and our promise to be on call 24/7 for anything the owner may need. We support our extended Kaiju Family for the lifetime of the dog. We will also accept back any pup we bred at any time for any reason.
