BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY:
Originally Japanese dogs were small to medium in size and no large breeds existed. Since 1603 in the Akita region, Akita Matagis (medium-sized bear-hunting dogs) were used as fighting dogs. From 1868 Akita Matagis were crossed with Tosas and Mastiffs. Consequently, the size of this breed increased but characteristics associated with Spitz type were lost. In 1908 dog fighting was prohibited, but this breed was nevertheless preserved and improved as a large Japanese breed. As a result, nine superior examples of this breed were designated as Natural Monuments in 1931.
During World War II (1939-1945), it was common to use dogs as a source of fur for military garments. The police ordered the capture and confiscation of all dogs other than German Shepherd Dogs used for military purposes. Some fanciers tried to circumvent the order by crossbreeding their dogs with German Shepherd Dogs.
When World War II ended, Akitas had been drastically reduced in number and existed as three distinct types; 1) Matagi Akitas, 2) fighting Akitas, and 3) Shepherd Akitas. This created a very confusing situation in the breed.
During the restoration process of the pure breed after the war., Kongo-go, a dog of the Dewa line, which exhibited characteristics of the Mastiff and German Shepherd.
However, sensible learned fanciers did not approve of this type as a proper Japanese breed, so they made efforts to eliminate the strain old foreign breeds by crossbreeding with Matagi Akitas for the purpose of restoring the original pure breed. They succeeded in stabilizing the pure strain of large sized breed as known today.
历史梗概：
最初日本犬为小型至中型犬,没有大型犬种。从1603年,在秋田地区的Matgis秋田(中等体型的猎熊犬)被用作斗犬使用。1868年以后，秋田与土佐犬和獒犬杂交。于是，此犬种的体型变大，但是丧失了尖嘴犬的特征。
1908年，斗犬被禁止，然而这个品种得到了保存并改良为大型日本犬种。由此，此犬种中9个优良的犬于1931年被政府定为“天然纪念物”。
二战期间（1935-1945），用狗的皮毛制成军用服装是常见的。为了军事目的，警察命令捕获除德国牧羊犬以外的所有狗。一些爱好者用他们的狗和德国牧羊犬杂交来回避这项法令。
二战结束时，秋田犬数量剧减，并存在三种完全不同的类型1）matagi 秋田犬，2）斗犬秋田，3）牧羊秋田。这引起了非常混乱的局面。
战后，纯种犬修复过程中，Kongo-go，一条Dewa血系的狗，展现出獒犬和德国牧羊犬的特性，当时受到极大的欢迎。然而，明智的爱好者不认可这种类型能够代表日本犬种。因此，为了得到原先的纯种犬，他们通过和Matgi秋田犬杂交尽力消除外来犬种的血统。他们成功的稳固了如今人们所熟知的这个大型犬的纯正特点。
