Caring for a Hokkaido

Health

This is the single most important health fact for the breed: Hokkaidos have an unusually high rate of Collie eye anomaly, an inherited eye condition — roughly a third of the breed is affected and two-thirds are carriers, making eye screening genuinely important before breeding or if buying a puppy.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's active, cold-climate working background.

Grooming

The thick double coat needs frequent brushing given its length and density, more during seasonal shedding.

Training

Needs early socialization given natural wariness of strangers, and does best in an active, outdoorsy household that can meet its need for closeness and exercise.

About the breed

A Japanese spitz breed from the northern island of Hokkaido, historically bred to hunt bear in harsh, snowy conditions.

Loyal and people-oriented, Hokkaidos want to be near their favorite person constantly and can develop separation anxiety if left alone too long.
