Japanese dog breed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">japanese dog breed</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for akita that I've seen before include "powerful dog" , "heavy brute?" , "dog from Japan" , "Japanese breed of dog" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The New York Times, the LA Times and the USA Today.
