Do your research!! Please think twice before purchasing an Akita puppy from Royalty Akitas-- he is a glorified backyard breeder, with a "nice" facility, but no concern for the long term health of his dogs and their offspring. I know there are many positive reviews on here, and statistically, when you breed as many dogs as Don does, odds are, there are...

8/17/2017 The day we bought our Akita puppy from Don Van Dermyden (the owner of Royalty Akitas) was one of the happiest days of our lives. Neither my wife nor I had ever bought a dog before, much less a puppy. Up until then, we had always rescued various breeds including an Akita and a German Shepard. The puppy we bought from Royalty Akitas, we named Bear...

Royalty Akitas Never received puppy paid for, nor a refund

I purchased a puppy via PayPal for $2000, in two installments, from Don VanDermyden of Royalty Akitas, to be born in August 2016. By paying ahead, I was guaranteed the pick of the litter, and a "discount". Through email (photos included) and telephone we mutually agreed on the male puppy Kingston, born 8/28/2016 (breeding parents Titan x Misty). Assuming that he would be ready at 10 weeks of age, the following months I attempted numerous times through email and telephone contact to determine a date to pick the puppy up. He continued to lead me to believe that after the health check (10/26/2016) the puppy would be ready to go in 14 days. I remained hopeful, but realized after weeks had passed, and no reply from him, that Mr. VanDermyden had no intention of delivering the puppy that he had sold me. I sent an email requesting a date to pick up the puppy or a refund, or I would be forced to explore legal options. To which he responded by email that he would call as soon as possible. I have never heard from him. Due to the time lapse between my initial payment and finally waiting for the health check, Pay Pal would not refund my money. I filed a claim in San Luis Obispo Superior Court, and a judgement was entered against Mr. VanDermyden, case #16SC-0339, 2/3/2017. He has never offered me any refund nor an explanation. There is no way to recoup my $2000, but more importantly, this caused me grief that I would not want anyone else to have to go through. He committed fraud. I would like to add, that I have owned and raised Akitas, since 1980. I am very experienced with the breed. This is the first time that I have ever encountered any problem with purchasing a dog. It is very disappointing that people with the ethics of Mr. VanDermyden continue to be in the business of selling dogs.

I had a review i wrote on Royalty Akitas owned by Don Van Dermyden removed from this website a few weeks ago after thinking i was wrong to use the term, "puppy mill" and i apologize for that... i was upset and regret using that term. Now, someone has posted my original complaint on two other websites: Merareview.com and Consumermotion.com. I have contacted...
