This prince of a dog was rescued in Gifu Prefecture along with a whole pack. The offspring of Hokkaido dogs, they congregated at a temple and roamed the hills in search of food. Like the other rescues, this dog¡¯s name starts with a ¡°V¡± ¡ª for Valiant, in his case. True to his name, the 9-year-old Valiant is handsome and strong. And true to his breed, he¡¯s extremely cautious and perhaps even ¡°somewhat moody.¡±
Caution was requisite for survival in the wild, and Valiant¡¯s caution is directly linked to trust. Once he is convinced that you are trustworthy, he becomes affectionate and sweet. Valiant loves walking and loves food even more. He knows a few commands, but what he really wants is to have fun. When he¡¯s completely comfortable with you, his playful side will come out.
Take note that Valiant isn¡¯t wild about other dogs, or cats for that matter. He will do best in a home all his own, where he can hold court undisturbed. For the touch of royalty he¡¯ll surely bestow on your household, Valiant is a dream come true.
