Akita Inu was a fighter par excellence Japanese.
Large (about 70
cm) did deserve praise for their unbridled courage that does not let you
ever fall into certainly one of the fights where dogs get lost. Thus, the Japanese state prohibits fine
specimen of this national dog came to be extinct in such a barbaric way
and vetoed his participation in bloody spectacles Born and raised on the island of Honshu (Akita belongs
to), the Akita Inu, a product of
circumstances and geographical environment, never emigrated, and remained pure
for centuries: first used for hunting of large wild animals and, later, as
said, in the struggle between dogs.
Just because it is considered
a national glory, as a historical monument, the government has to protect him.
