History of the breed:

Originally Japanese dogs were small or medium sized, large breeds were not noticed. Since 1603 medium sized dogs named Akita Matagi were used for bear hunting as well as for dog fights in the district Akita. Since 1868 Matagi were interbred with Tosa Inu and Mastiffs, as a result breed's sizes increased, but the features of Shpitz type disappeared.
In 1908 the dog fights were prohibited, but nevertheless the breed was preserved and improved, and became a breed of Japanese large dogs. As a result in 1931, nine prominent representatives of the breed were called "Natural Monuments".
During the Second World War (1939 - 1945) dog's coat was often used for military garments. By order of police all dogs were captured and seized, only German Shepherds were used for military purposes. Some dog owners tried to circumvent the order by cross-breeding their dogs with German Shepherd.
By the end of World War II, the number of Akita decreased dramatically. In addition, there appeared three distinct in breed types: Matagi Akita, fighting Akitas and Shepherd Akitas. As a result, the breed development was very complex and confusing.
During the recovery of the livestock of the purebred Akita after the war ended, short-term, though considerable popularity has received the male from Dewa line, named Kongo-go. Mastiff and German Shepherd influence was traced in his exterior as well. Nevertheless, reasonable and educated breed fans didn't consider him a type of genuine Japanese breed, that's why they exerted all efforts to eliminate the influence of foreign breeds and to restore the original pure bred by mating with Matagi Akita. They managed to get a stable stock of large Japanese dog breed just in the same type, as they are known today.
