The Japanese Terrier is a small and energetic dog breed that was bred in Japan to hunt small animals such as foxes and hares. These dogs have a strong build, short legs and tail, and a long coat that can be clipped or left natural. They are highly intelligent and easy to train, making them excellent companions and protectors. The Japanese Terrier can be active and playful, or calm and quiet, depending on its upbringing and environment. However, they always remain loyal and loving to their owners, and are ready to protect them from any danger.
