Summary
About Shikoku
The Shikoku is an ancient Japanese medium‑sized hunting spitz from Shikoku Island, bred for boar in steep mountains. Athletic, loyal, and reserved with strangers, it has a dense sesame double coat, strong prey drive, and needs experienced, active owners and regular mental and physical work.
About Spanish Greyhound
The Spanish Greyhound (Galgo Español) is an ancient Spanish sighthound, lightly built with a long body, deep chest and smooth, efficient movement. Calm, sensitive and affectionate at home, it needs regular exercise, gentle training and protection from cold due to its fine coat and low body fat.
