  Japan Kennel Club, Inc - Japanese dog Hokkaido
This breed is said to have originated from medium-sized Japanese dogs that accompanied migrants from Honsyu (the main island of Japan) to Hokkaido during the Kamakura era (in the 1140s), when exchanges were developing between Hokkaido and the Tohoku District. When the breed was designated as a "natural monument" in 1937, it took on the name of the area.
