Overview |
|---|
|
The Japanese Terrier is a short coated, small sized, clean cut dog, with a smart appearance and a compact outline. The Japanese Terrier is a cheerful, animated, intelligent dog. They are gentle and sometimes cautious but, like other terriers, they can be intense when chasing squirrels (which may be bigger than they are). |
History |
|
In the 17th Century, Smooth Fox Terrier were imported to Japan from the Netherlands. These dogs were bred with small pointers and native type dogs, and the Japanese Terrier eventually emerged, with type being set in the breed around 1930. The breed is kept mainly as a lap dog. |
