Akita Inu The Akita Inu, a breed originating from regional hunting dogs, was meticulously restored and preserved by dedicated breeders within the Akita Dog Preservation Society (AKIHO). This breed is renowned for its striking appearance, as well as its exceptional physical and mental agility.
Hachiko: A Symbol of Loyalty Hachiko, a real dog who resided in Tokyo during the early 1900s, gained fame for his unwavering loyalty and devotion. Despite the passing of his owner, Hachiko remained steadfast in his daily vigil at
a train station, waiting for his beloved companion’s return.
Cairn Terrier: A Spirited Companion The Cairn Terrier, a breed characterized by its cheerful and energetic nature, was initially bred for the fearless pursuit of foxes and other small prey within the rugged Scottish countryside. These curious and alert dogs thrive in environments that allow them to explore and engage in digging activities. The Cairn Terrier’s distinctive traits, often referred to as “Cairnishness,” include a compact, broad head and a sturdy, short- legged body that exudes strength without appearing cumbersome. Their height typically ranges up to 10 inches, while their length can reach approximately 15 inches. The double coat of the Cairn Terrier consists of a harsh and wiry outer layer with a downy undercoat. The overall appearance of the Cairn Terrier is that of a small, shaggy, and alert dog, with its head, tail, and ears held upright, while its eyes radiate intelligence. A British breed club enthusiastically promotes Cairns as the “best little pal in the world.”
Toto: A Beloved Canine Star The most celebrated Cairn Terrier is undoubtedly Toto, a character that gained immense popularity through the iconic film “The Wizard of Oz.”
