 Akita Learning Center - THE AKITA DOG'S ROOTS IN SOUTHERN AKITA
This resulted in the so-called "Shin" ("New") Akita dog of the Taisho Period (1912-1925.) Dogs with droopy ears, uncurled tail, short coat and boxy face, which were features of the Tosa fighting dog, were seen in the "New" Akita dogs in the Odate area.
The Akita dog was not designated until 1931, when a second survey team led by Dr. Tokio Kaburagi was sent again by the Ministry of Education with the stipulation to "preserve with human efforts." Dr. Kaburagi designated the Akita dogs of that period so they could be restored.
In the case of the Akita dog, it is "preservation through the efforts by man." This means a continuous process of restoration is involved.
