    Choosing a dog can be both exciting and perplexing. The one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's character will reveal itself.

    Finding out why a breed was developed, and the country and climate it initially came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and personality.

    Some breeds require much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also require time to develop: the boxer's extrovert and playful nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

Hokkaido Dog Temperament Personality

Hokkaido Dog Information

The Hokkaido is a medium sized, spitz type breed that has strongly developed secondary sex characteristics. It is well balanced, sturdily built and strongly boned. The breed is capable of withstanding severe cold and heavy snowfall. Its tough, clean cut muscles give it great stamina.

The breed is known for fidelity to its owner, bravery, and the ability to withstand the cold, among other traits. It has an innate sense of direction and smell, and can therefore return to its master no matter how great the distance. Temperament will vary depending on the lineage and region of upbringing. They are good with children if they are raised with them from puppyhood and/or properly socialized. Children should be taught how to display leadership skills, and the dog should be taught to respect the child.
