The Japanese Terrier is a small breed of terrier from Japan. These dogs are small in size, with a short and wiry coat of fur. They have a lively and energetic demeanor, with an instinct for hunting. They are highly intelligent and trainable, but require firm and consistent training to be obedient. They are loyal and devoted to their family, with an independent nature that makes them well suited for herding and guard work.
