Also known as the Nippon or Nihon Terrier, this rare breed is surprisingly strong and athletic for its size. Believed to have descended from the English Toy Terrier and the now-extinct Toy Bull Terrier, the Japanese Terrier has served as a lapdog, ratter, and retriever. It is an adaptable family pet and a reliable watchdog.
