well, recently i've contacted the shikoku breeders here in north america and i've got a pretty accurate estimate: probably $1,800-$2,200, but you have to include all the other expenses that go with caring for the dog, but that isn't much more than any other dog, from what i've heard, its about the same. Akitas can be expensive, just depends on where you are getting the dog from and its quality.
