Dig My Curl Akitas

We breed and sell Akitas. Our dogs are bred for temperament and beautiful looks that aid in the good reputation for the Akita breed.

Hello and Welcome to Dig My Curl Akita's page. We here at Dig My Curl Akitas, DMC Akitas for shot, started breeding akitas in 2010 with our first litter born early 2011. Own and operated by Candace and Gary Schaap, we have lived with large, strong willed dogs all our lives and now have decided to share one of these precious breeds with the world. We breed our akitas for temperament first

and appearance second. We aim to better the breed with our dogs and help make and keep a good standing name for the Akita dog breed. Our akitas are from the American line of akitas but with a twist. Although our dogs carry the beautiful coat markings recognized in the American line, our dogs hold a build that leans toward the more traditional style of the Japanese akita bloodline. Our dogs do not get as big or have a 'box like' appearance as the American Bloodline tends to do. A true little gem in the rough has been found within our dogs. Our females usually top out around 85 to 90 pounds and males have reached between 95 to 110 pounds when done growing. Our puppies are well socialized with children and other animals before heading to their new homes. Puppies also go to their new homes with first set of vaccines, veterinary check up, deworming and microchip! Puppies can be picked up from our home or we can deliver puppies to their new homes, at owner's expense. If you are interested in an akita puppy to call you own, feel free to drop us an email, facebook message, or call us to inquire about our available puppies or up coming litters. Thank you for taking the time to visit our page. Sincerely;
Candace and Gary Schaap of Dig My Curl Akitas

Yesterday was a big day for little Kitsune, as she got her spay. She unfortunately did not make our standards for our breeding program. We had high hopes that after she would meet our breeding expectations as she has beautiful markings lovely colouring , a very please and gentle personality and a good height to her. So a few people asked us why we spayed her if she had these desirable traits. Well unfortunately she also had traits that are frowned upon in the Akita breed. Her coat is too short, her muzzle is too narrow and her face/head is too small and round.
We wish to produce not only pure bred Akitas but also well bred Akitas.
So our sweet 2 year old girl will simply live her life as a companion to us, her pack mates and our two sons that she is bonded too.
On another note… Kitsune absolutely hates the inflatable cone.
Fell better soon Kitsune!

Attention Dig My Curl Akita Family and Friends!!
We want to introduce you to C**t!
C**t is a 9 month old intact male akita that is fawn and white in colour with a black mask.
Due to no fault of his own his owner is currently seeking a loving forever home for her fur baby!
We are told that C**t is a very friendly, sweet, intelligent and fluffy big boy!
He currently lives and interacts well with 3 small breed dogs and one cat.
C**t loves to go for walks, spending time in the bush, and being outside.
C**t know how to sit pretty, shake both paws and is very smart.
C**t is house trained as well.

Please be aware that C**t is not one of our dogs, he does not reside with us, nor have we met him. All information is provided by his owner.
We are trying to help an owner and akita out in this sad situation.

If you think you could provide C**t a loving home please reach out to Fonda Elizabeth Winters-Trahan

So we have had a few people ask if we will be having a litter this year. As much as I would love to announce we are, but at this current time are putting our dog breedings on hold especially with our newest non forbearing addition!
Today we welcomed our second son into the world via c-section.
Meet Bram Douglas Schaap!
Our Dig My Curl Akitas Family is getting larger!

Update: ***Kadhi has been adopted 🥰***

Hey Dig My Curl Family and watchers check out this baby girl!
Please take note that this is not one of our pups, but she does need help to find her forever home!
If you are interested in learning more about her or adopting her, maybe even to foster her, reach out to Northern Animals Rescue and Sanctuary.
Can’t foster or adopt then give their post a share, every little bit helps them to find the right home for the animals in the rescue.

ADOPTED

We are always sad when things dont work out when our dogs are adopted . It’s always a sad time . Poor Kashi is coming back to us. She’s such a great girl but has some things to work out . She’s got some fears of loud noises , this could be because she was dumped on the side of the road and maybe it’s traumatic to her. Kashi is about 5-6 months old Akita she gets along with the other dogs and cats but hasn’t bonded with her human male figure and shows some fears . This poor girl needs some patience and understanding and someone to work with her . We know when we say a dog or puppy needs work people tend to shy away but she’s just too sweet that this shouldn’t define her she just needs a quieter place (noise wise ) If you’re interested in Kashi please pm our page .
