The Shikoku is a medium-sized Japanese breed known for its loyalty, intelligence, and hunting prowess. Originating from Shikoku Island, these dogs were bred for hunting wild boar and are characterized by their spitz-like features, including erect ears and a curled tail. Shikokus are energetic and alert, making them excellent companions for active owners. They require consistent training and socialization due to their independent nature, but they form strong bonds with their families.

Utah has been a home for dog lovers longer than you might think! At Danger Cave, on the western state border, archaeologists have found dog bones buried next to human remains that are more than 9,000 years old. Still today, dogs and their human families love to spend time together out in nature. Visit the old stomping grounds of your canine’s ancestors in Utah’s state parks and camping areas or rent a cottage on the lake for a nice mix between nature and creature comforts. Thousands of restaurants in this state have dog-friendly patios, while hundreds of specialists are available for all your pet’s grooming and spa needs.
