The Japanese Terrier ( Japanese 日本 テ リ ア , Nihon Teria ) is a Japanese breed of dog recognized by the FCI ( FCI Group 3, Section 2, Standard No. 259 ).
Origin and history
The origins of the breed go back to 1702, when the smooth- haired fox terriers were brought to Japan from Holland and the Japanese terriers were created by crossing them with local dogs. The dogs were kept mainly in the port cities of Yokohama and Kobe as lap dogs, which were carried by their owners on walks. They were called Oyuku or Mikado Terriers . A planned breeding of a modern pedigree dog began around 1920. It took about 10 years until the breed picture had solidified.
