外貌 | Outward Appearance
体躯均斉を得、骨格頑丈緊密にして筋、腱、靭共に発達し、皮膚弛緩なく牡牝の表示判然とし、牡は体高体長の比 100 対 110 に対して牝は牡より体高に比して体長稍長とし、体高牡 66.7 糎（2 尺 2 寸）、牝 60.6 糎（2 尺）とし上下各 3.03 糎（1 寸）迄を可とす。体高胸深の比を略 2 対 1 とす。
The body possesses proportional balance; the skeletal structure is stout and compact, with the muscles, tendons, and ligaments all developed; the skin is without looseness, and the distinction between male and female is clearly apparent. In the male, the ratio of height to body length is 100 to 110; in the female, the body length is, in proportion to the height, taken as slightly longer than in the male. Height is set at 66.7 cm (2 shaku 2 sun) for the male and 60.6 cm (2 shaku) for the female, with up to 3.03 cm (1 sun) above or below permitted. The ratio of height to chest depth is approximately 2 to 1.
体躯に均斉があり、骨格・筋・腱・靭が機能的に整っていること。
皮膚に弛緩がなく、牡牝の別が明確であること。
体高・体長・胸深の比率が標準に即していること。
よくある誤解
量感や長さを強さと誤認し、均斉と構成の正しさを軽視すること。
審査メモ
外貌において最も重視すべきは、量感そのものではなく、体躯の均斉と構成の正しさです。骨格は頑丈かつ緊密で、筋・腱・靭が機能的に整い、皮膚に弛緩がないことが必要です。牡牝の別は単なる性別表示ではなく、秋田犬としての牡らしさ、牝らしさが外貌にはっきり現れていることが求められます。また、比率は数値として正しいだけでなく、全体として自然で無理のない構成として見えなければなりません。長さや量感が目立っても、均斉を失えば秋田犬らしい外貌とはいえません。
観察の要点
Observation Checkpoints
The body shows proportional harmony, and the skeletal structure, muscles,
tendons, and ligaments are functionally well formed.
Skin is without looseness, and distinction between male and female is clear.
Proportions of height, body length, and chest depth conform to the standard.
Common Misread
Mistaking mass or length for strength, while undervaluing proportional harmony and correctness of construction.
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.
