The breeds
recognized today as native Japanese Dogs consist of: Large dog--Akita;
Medium dogs--Hokkaido, Kai Ken, Kyshu, and Shikoku; Small dog--Shiba Inu.
In the medium class, there is a great deal of overlap in terms of size,
color, and type, although certain colors are associated more commonly with
one breed or the others. For instance, the Hokkaido is most commonly
red with urajiro (cream to white markings on the points) or white;
the Kyshu, white; the Shikoku, sesame; and the Kai, dark brindle.
