About Rayu
All listing information is self-reported. Verify information before conducting business. Learn more here
Rayu is from our Koji x Boku litter. She's a puppy who genuinely wants to be with her people. Happy, social, and food motivated like her brother. Similarly, she also has the potential to make a great show/sport prospect but would be just as happy to be your hiking and camping buddy.
Both parents were health tested through OFA, are dual AKC/UKC champions/pointed, and have a number of other sports titles. For more information, feel free to check out my website (aoiyamasoushikoku.com) or my fb/ig by the same name.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Shikoku Puppies
About Shikoku Puppies
What kind of dog is a Shikoku?
Shikoku are medium-sized dogs from Japan. They are independent hunters and have exceptional problem-solving skills. But perhaps the most unique thing about this hardworking breed is their love and devotion for their family. Shikoku have endless amounts of energy and kisses! Full-grown, they typically weigh 35-55 pounds and stand 17-22 inches tall.
Can Shikokus live with cats and other dogs?
Shikokus are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Shikoku are hardworking hunters with a weatherproof coat, but they prefer to live indoors with their family. However, these lively medium-sized dogs will make great use of a large backyard. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
How much exercise does a Shikoku need?
Shikoku have energy and lots of it! Be sure to carve out around two hours each day for exercising these dogs. Going on daily runs with their owner and then racing around their backyard until their heart’s content will do the trick. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
What should I expect with Shikoku shedding?
Shikoku are striking dogs of the spitz variety. Their beautiful double-coat sheds seasonally. Brushing every few days will take care of dead hairs and make the shedding season much more manageable. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
How much space does a Shikoku need?
Shikokus are best suited for a rural property or home with a large yard. Shikoku are hardworking hunters with a weatherproof coat, but they prefer to live indoors with their family. However, these lively medium-sized dogs will make great use of a large backyard. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
