Not my wife but an ex girlfriend....
I use to show Akitas, it was on our second date when she came over to my place and i introduced her to several of my dogs. She asked what kind they were etc and where they came from. i told her they were originally from Japan and were originally used for bear hunting and then fighting and gave her the basic history of the breed. She then asked me if i thought having them here in america was traumatic for them because i couldnt speak japanese!
There was no third date.....
