About the year 1985, when the Japanese Terrier was facing extinction, less than 50 bitches were left throughout Japan, which could be used to breed. According to the utmost efforts devoted by a few volunteers who were aware of the necessity to protect the breed immediately, and after spending 7 years doing so, the number of Japanese Terriers has reached approximately 400 now. However, there is still a lot of work to do, as the breed is still a rare one, even in Japan. Recently, as some eager fanciers have appeared in several overseas countries who have shown great interest in this breed, in an effort to achieve a deeper understanding of the breed among these people, we decided to publish this small booklet, in which you will find out all about this cute and beautiful breed: The Japanese Terrier. I heartily hope that the Japanese Terrier "families" will become more extended around the world in the near future by the fanciers who were charmed and gained right knowledge of this attractive breed.
