Akita dogs were common on the battle fields of the Fuedal period in Japan.

They did not actually enter the battle unless the enemy lost face by retreating. The Akita dog has twice the bite pressure of a German Shephard, three times that of a Doberman.

One prominent Damiyo kept a kennel of 1200 war dogs, each with its own handler.

But the armor shown above would have probably been cerimonial, the helmet would have made biting impossible and the backpiece would have slowed them down.
