The Shikoku. He’s a dog that has an affinity with the natural world, he has highly tuned survival skills that may be redundant as a pet, but are still visible. Loving affection, he likes to give love as much as receive it, though his natural caution can hinder him at times.
He’ll be loyal to you, he’ll happily await your command, but strangers may see another side to him if he isn’t given the chance to get used to social interactions from a young age. With kids, he’ll show them respect and love if they do the same, a good upbringing for both is a must to make this work.
An intelligent dog like this is a fast learner, and he’ll be a pleasure to train for a competent owner. He’ll need consistency and needs to understand that you’re the boss, otherwise he’ll get lazy, mischievous and may get snappy.
This guy needs his exercise, and plenty of it. A daily walk is good, a daily jog or run even better. But be sure to keep him safe, as he may just get himself in a pickle if he goes after prey in an urban environment. He doesn’t have a doggy smell, so bath him every six weeks or so, give him a brush once a week to remove dead hair.
Interesting facts: The Shikoku is an official national treasure of Japan, declared so in 1937 and reflecting the rarity of the breed. These dogs are amongst the purest breeds in the world, down to the isolated region from which they originate!
The Shikoku. Respect begets respect, the right owner will reap great rewards from this dog.
