About the Hokkaido

Robust and dignified, the Hokkaido is loyal, calm and very alert. These dogs are intelligent thinkers who, with proper socialisation, make friendly, confident family companions.

Although extremely rare outside of Japan, the breed club sees between 900 – 1,000 Hokkaidos registered per year.
