📜History | Origin: Japan. The breed originated from medium-sized Japanese dogs that accompanied migrants from Honshu to Hokkaido during the Kamakura era. It was designated as a "natural monument" in 1937 and is also known as the "Ainu-ken," as it was bred by the Ainu people for hunting bears and other animals. |
