※This page publishes the contents which extracted Akita Inu preservation society (say Akiho as follows.) issuance than "a bookmark of the Akita Inu".
 


 It is not sure from when Akita Inu chosen as one of the natural monument 6 dog species of the country was raised habitation in our Odate district but was the companion who could never lack for hunting (matagi) in Nara period. Local reclamation and the development of the mine advanced, and war was broken out by a conflict between regionally powerful lords, and the inflow of other local people worried a people's opinion again since Dewa country was established in our Akita region, and the hunting dog was raised as a watchdog.
 

 A dogfight came to be greatly performed in the watchdogs which became strong after it was Tokugawa era, and a permanent construction pit was established after the Meiji from a half term, and a dogfight was made the performance after it was for period in the Taisho era, and the quality of family-like dog was finally made the mongrel.
 
 A traditional natural beauty spot historic spot lost in such times of Japan and public opinion of the natural monument-designated preservation of the animals and plants were angry, and the law established it in 1919, and there was a second investigation, and the Akita Inu was appointed to a natural monument in the Japanese dogs first in July, 1931. It is "Hachi-ko" reported as a faithful dog in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper in October, 1932 that I am combined with the designation of the natural monument, and made Akita Inu famous. Naturally, as for the article, the dog lover impresses a general Japanese chest deeply, and the Akita Inu will come into the limelight widely, too. In that way there was the blank during the Great War, but development, the quality of dog improve sequentially after the war, and Akita Inu excellent now is raised in whole country each place.

Examination

 The above is a standard of Akiu. This standard, so to speak, becomes the basics of the examination with constitutional nyo thing. An examination sectional meeting determines the small examination policy particularly.

 A good dog does not have good exterior, figure partially, and the results of the exhibition may not necessarily accord with the essence of the dog essentially. It is an ideal that order accords with essence and should be able to happen, but this is because, actually, it judges it by the condition of the dog, a ring manner generally.

 Even the dog which should go is sick, mo*ki, also, of the management when is bad, cannot show enough the essence to be able to have, and the dog bad essentially cannot occupy the high rank of results as even condition best how much cannot cover the essence.
 

 It is said that the true completion beauty is not seen when the Akita Inu is not 2003 from the old days. It presents the looks of the ancient warrior with the bitterness from that time. There is the dog which gets worse as it becomes soinu, the adult dog well for yoinu, the young dog era, but the dog which improves as it is to an adult dog is a good dog of the essence.

 However, it is a really superior dog that shows a consistent good point from yoinujidai to the adult dog era. The evaluation is *yu, excellence, associate A, authorization, five phases of the disqualification. By the headquarters exhibition, I confer "Akiu honor chapter" on the dog of the highest grade of the Akita Inu.

End

 Then, I am assigned to Akita Inu and explained an outline, but, according to the current statistics, only 4-5% of *inusuu of our country are said to be a purity dog and, also, think with a number of the Akita Inu soon what percentage it is. You eliminate a mongrel dog, and purity recommends excellent Akita Inu and must advance to in the future world *inukai in hope of the improvement more and more.
