Current Puppy Plans
Planned carefully, matched thoughtfully.
Takikawa litters are limited, intentional, and often spoken for before puppies are ready to go home. This page gathers current plans, application details, investment, and go-home information.

Current Puppy Plans
Takikawa litters are planned thoughtfully and puppies are often spoken for before they are ready to go home. This page is the best place to find current litter plans, upcoming possibilities, and application information.
Before applying, we encourage you to read about our Puppy Program so you understand how our puppies are raised, socialized, and matched with families.
Planned for Autumn 2026
Journey x Reign
Journey: Gaylord's Great Adventure at Takikawa CGC TKN
Reign: Morningstar Purple Reign
We are currently planning a repeat breeding between Journey and Reign for a possible autumn 2026 litter, with red and sesame puppies possible. This pairing is especially meaningful to our program because their first litter produced puppies with the thoughtful, people-connected temperaments we value deeply.
As always, timing depends on nature, health, and what is best for the dogs. We will update this page as plans become more certain.
Previous Journey & Reign litter
Journey and Reign's first litter was born February 23, 2026. This litter produced Aurora and Rivi, both of whom remain part of our guardian program. We were especially pleased with the puppies' social confidence, thoughtful temperaments, and early ability to engage with people and new experiences.
Pricing
Investment
What is included
The purchase price includes early training and socialization through our Puppy Program, age-appropriate veterinary care, vaccinations and deworming, a microchip, AKC registration, 30 days of AKC pet insurance, and continued support as your puppy transitions home.
Raised through our Puppy Program
Our Puppy Program is part of how Takikawa puppies are raised. Puppies are introduced to early communication, handling, settling routines, crate foundations, confidence-building, age-appropriate socialization, and real-life experiences before they leave.
Additional preschool support
For owners who would like additional support before bringing their puppy home, Extended Puppy Preschool may be available for $500 per week, depending on scheduling and availability.
Show or breeding prospects
Show or breeding prospects are considered individually. If a puppy is evaluated as show quality and placed with full AKC registration, pricing and placement terms may differ.
How the Process Works
Takikawa puppies are not placed on a simple first-come, first-served basis. Interested families begin by learning about our program and completing an application.
Thoughtful Matching
Final placement decisions are not made until puppies are old enough for us to better understand their temperaments, structure, and individual needs.
Future Timing
You may apply even if your ideal timing is farther in the future. Applications help us understand your home, goals, and timeline before a litter is ready.
Bringing your puppy home
Takikawa puppies are ready to go home after they turn 8 weeks old. Before leaving, each puppy receives a veterinary exam, age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming, a microchip, AKC registration, and go-home support for the transition into family life.
Puppies are introduced to car crates and, when needed, airline carry bags before travel. Local pickup is preferred whenever possible, but we can discuss travel support when needed, including meeting at the Grand Rapids airport or providing flight nanny service by arrangement.
For owners who would like additional support before bringing their puppy home, extended Puppy Preschool may be available at $500 per week, depending on scheduling and availability.
