This exotic Spitz-type dog breed is known for its strength, intelligence, loyalty, and keen sense of smell. What is it?

Named after the Japanese prefecture of the same name, the Hokkaido breed is one the few major dog breeds originating in Japan — along with the better-known Akita and the Shiba Inu. Hokkaido dogs are known for their long, stiff coat, physical endurance, and keen senses — which is why they were traditionally used as hunting or working dogs in Japan.
