審査メモ

秋田犬の本質は、個々の美点を別々に見るのではなく、沈毅・威厳・悍威・忠順・素朴・品位が矛盾なく一体として現れるところにあります。悍威は荒さや凶暴性ではなく、抑制の中にある力でなければなりません。地味は存在感の乏しさではなく、飾り気のない落ち着きであり、その中に品位が備わることが大切です。また、挙措には重厚と敏活が共に備わり、鈍重でも軽薄でもないことが求められます。秋田犬らしさは、誇張ではなく、抑制と均衡の中に現れます。

Judging Notes

The essence of the Akita Inu lies not in judging each virtue separately, but in the harmonious unity of calm firmness, dignity, restrained power, loyal obedience, unaffected simplicity, and refinement. Restrained power must not become roughness or aggression, but remain strength held in control. Subduedness does not mean lack of presence, but unadorned composure, within which refinement must appear. In bearing and action alike, both weighty solidity and lively agility must be present; the dog must be neither dull nor superficial. Akita Inu type reveals itself not through exaggeration, but through restraint and balance.
