The Hokkaido-Inu is a native Japanese dog breed. Because the
Ainu people (the indigenous people of Hokkaido) bred the dog to use
for hunting bears and deer, the breed has also been known as "the
Ainu-Ken (Ainu Dog)."
Here is a picture of RAMAT(left), SIKO(center),
and PIRKA(right) in Boulder, Colorado, USA.
SIKO was very pleased to have her own special handmade collar
from Hokkaido like her mom and dad.
They did a "sit stay" for 5 or 10 minutes while they were
getting their picture taken.

Message from the
director;
My
American friend, Bob Simmons, from Boulder, Colorado,
USA got an Ainu Dog (red male puppy named RAMAT) from me
and went home on August 12, 2001. He was proud to become
a member of a preservation society of the Hokkaido-Inu
during a signing ceremony at the SETA PALACE (in Takasaki, Gunma) while he
was here. Here we are pictured with our puppies, RAMAT
and SETA in Karuizawa, Nagano.
