The best dog insurances for your Akita Inu

The size of Japanese dogs originally ranged from small to medium, and there were no big breeds. Starting in 1603, coming from the Akita region, dogs called ″ Matagi Akitas ″ (medium-sized bear hunting dogs) were used as fighting dogs. Beginning in 1868, the breed was crossed with Tosa and Mastiffs. Therefore, its size increased. And the Spitz-type dog features disappeared. In 1908, when dog fighting was banned, this breed was preserved, prospered, and became a great Japanese breed. In 1931, 9 excellent dogs of this breed were designated as ″ historical monuments″.
