Few words about Shikoku Dog Hope
After a long wait, we were finally able to use our Canadian import male Naoki as a stud. His first pairing was with Mami, and in both structure and temperament, the two were a perfect match. This mating produced a litter from which we kept a female, naming her Hope, a name chosen carefully, reflecting the promise and potential of these mixed bloodlines.
Hope participated in some dog shows, though she is not a true showgirl. Over time, she has become a fantastic mother, teaching her puppies “old-school survival tricks” the rough way, yet she is a dream mother to have.
For her second litter, we paired her with our top male Tai, producing the puppies we had hoped for. Among them is the gorgeous Nyara, a remarkable girl who will begin performing at dog shows in 2026. Hope continues to pass on the best qualities from her bloodlines, both in character and structure, ensuring a bright future for the Shikoku breed.
