Here is a picture of RAMAT(left), SIKO(center), and PIRKA(right) in Boulder, Colorado, USA.
SIKO was very pleased to have her own special handmade collar from Hokkaido like her mom and dad.
They did a "sit stay" for 5 or 10 minutes while they were getting their picture taken.

Welcome to the Hokkaido-Inu Museum !

Ainu Dog Museum

In the Ainu language, the word for dog is "seta."
In the Japanese language, the word for dog is "inu."

The Hokkaido-Inu was designated as "a rare species protected
by law" in 1937.

The Hokkaido-Inu is a Japanese dog breed. Because the Ainu people (the indigenous people of Hokkaido) bred the dog to use for hunting bears and deer, the breed has also been known as "the Ainu-Ken (Ainu Dog)."

Let's call the Hokkaido-Inu the Ainu Dog !

Message from the director;

My American friend, Bob Simmons, from Boulder, Colorado, USA got an Ainu Dog (red male puppy named RAMAT) from me and went home on August 12, 2001. He was proud to become a member of a preservation society of the Hokkaido-Inu during a signing ceremony at the SETA PALACE while he was here. Here we are pictured with our puppies, RAMAT and SETA.
