Summary
About Basset Artésien Normand
Medium French scent hound with short legs, long sturdy body and gentle, noble expression. Affectionate, calm at home and sociable with dogs, but driven by scent outdoors. Needs moderate exercise, positive training, secure fencing and regular care for ears, weight, back and joints.
About Hokkaido
A sturdy, medium-sized Japanese spitz with small, erect ears, a curled tail, and a dense double coat. Its heritage as a hunting dog for the Ainu people is reflected in its stamina, courage, and strong prey drive. The Hokkaido is loyal and eager to learn, but also independent. It needs an active, experienced owner who can provide exercise, mental stimulation, and positive socialization, with extra grooming during shedding season.
