Hokkaidos descend from the medium-sized Japanese dogs that followed migrants from Honshu, the largest of the Japanese islands, to Hokkaido during the Kamakura period (around the middle of the 12th century), as exchanges between Hokkaido and the Tohoku region developed. The breed was declared a Natural Monument in 1937, when it was named after its native island.
A breed with remarkable staying power that displays both dignity and naturalness, the Hokkaido is loyal, docile, very alert and bold.
