Shikoku
One of the oldest native Japanese dog breeds is the Shikoku Inu. Originally, the Shikoku Inu was bred as a hunting dog. Rather of hunting in groups like European hounds, the breed was entrusted with following prey animals across Kochi’s highlands, mostly deer and boar. Working alone in tough terrain under perilous conditions resulted in the development of a canine breed noted for its intellect, hardiness, devotion, and bravery.
Golden Retriever
The golden retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States, because of its loving, loyal, and attractive coats. When they’re not working in the field, these canines will love being part of a fun-loving family.
