About

Welcome to Kamikaze Akitas. I am Brandy Pollack. This website is for sharing information about my AKC Akita show dogs, planned breedings and available Akita puppies. I am located on five acres outside of Cuba, Missouri, about an hour west of St. Louis, Missouri and about six hours south of Chicago, Illinois. I am a school librarian. Working four days per week and having school breaks helps me to care for the dogs. I also have a lot of help from my family, including my mom, stepdad and grandpa, who are valuable members of the Kamikaze Team.

At Kamikaze Akitas, our motto is “Champions in the Ring and at Home.” Having been raised on a farm, I am a lifelong animal lover. I had my first Akita at the age of 10 and my first litter of puppies, Labrador Retrievers, at age 16.

My love of dogs led me to embark on an adventure to show dogs in 2012, when I took my first classes with our kennel club. I’ve been hooked since.

At Kamikaze, I show Akitas myself and invest a lot of time in them: grooming, training and socializing. I am a member of the Akita Club of America (ACA) and the Rolla MO Kennel Club.

My dogs are often seen with me on outings outside of dog shows to places like the Shakespeare Festival, Forest Park in St. Louis, our local Jimmy Johns, kennel club meetings, festivals, Petco and many other locations. I care about my dogs beyond the show ring as valued companions.

Thus, my motto. I strive to produce not only quality in Akita puppies, but also the type of loving companionship that may enrich their owners' lives.

*My website is named after Kamikaze-Go, the first Akita to be brought to the United States by Helen Keller. Keller received the Akita as an esteemed gift from the Japanese people while on a speaking tour.
