What kinds of dog breeds are available in Japan?

Question:


Sorry if this sounds ignorant but I'm honestly curious, are many dog breeds available for buying in Japan, similar to in America?

Because usually when I see dogs in Japan or in the media for Japan, they consist of many Japanese breeds like Akita's, Shiba-Inu's, Chihuahua's, labradors, and various toy dogs.

Thanks!

Answer:


Almost any dog is available. A neighbor has a bull mastiff. Huge dog. Probably hard to find and expensive, but he has one. Pet shops usually sell the smaller breeds, along with beagles, labs, cocker spaniels, and the like. But I think the prices are quite a bit higher. A dachshund usually is around $1300. As they get older, the price will come down, usually stalling somewhere around $500. Similar thing with other breeds.
