Had the Akita dog scholars and fanciers fully comprehended the purpose of the natural monument when the Odate dog was renamed the Akita dog and designated as a natural monument, much of the present confusion probably would have been avoided.
Akita dog fanciers in the Odate area also added to the confusion by stating their individual views on the appearance of the Akita dog, which were often contradictory.
Thus, the Akita dog that resulted from living in its habitat for 300 years or longer, and which was declared as a natural monument of the large Japanese dog in 1931, within a period of just over twenty years after the war, is in the process of being almost fully restored.
