First, I'm going to introduce about Akita-inu. Akita-Inu have been breed to hunt, therefore they sometime show aggressive tendencies toward small animals. Akita-Inu is one of the oldest dogs. Today, Akita-Inu developed primarly from northernmost region of the island of Honshu(本州) in the Akita prefecture, thus providing the breed's name. In 1931, Akita-Inu was specified a protected animals.
