Hickory Ridge Akitas

Hickory Ridge Akitas, Akitas, Granville, OH, is a family breeder located in Licking County and central Ohio near Columbus. Jennifer Kelley follows breed club guidelines and health-tests her dogs for hip dysplasia and eye conditions.

Puppies are raised indoors and outdoors as part of daily family life on a rural property, with early socialization around children, household sounds and other animals. Each litter enjoys structured playtime, gentle handling and supervised walks to build confidence and strong bonds before joining new homes. Their adults often participate in local temperament evaluations, helping ensure stable, well-adjusted companions.

A detailed photo gallery on their website offers a window into previous litters, living areas and the daily routines that shape well-rounded puppies. All puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club and receive up-to-date vaccinations along with a written health guarantee. Jennifer’s passion for Akitas began with volunteering at local rescue events and puppy socials.
