The Sanshu ( Japanese 三 州 犬 , Sanshū inu / ken ) is a dog breed from Japan previously recognized by the FCI (formerly Group 5, Section 5, Standard No. 258 ).
Origin and history
The Sanshu originated from 1912 on the Japanese main island of Honshū by crossing the Chow Chow with medium-sized native dogs. It is named after the province of Sanshū (now Aichi Prefecture ). As a result, the breed spread throughout Japan and was also recognized by the FCI with the standard number 258. In 1988 the Japanese Kennel Club applied to the FCI to delete the breed because the club believed it was a mixed breed .
