It was later developed in Japan and introduced to Europe in 1700. It became a favorite of Japanese nobility, and was often offered as a royal gift to diplomats and to foreigners who rendered some outstanding service to Japan. In 1853 a pair was given as a gift to Queen Victoria from Commodore Perry when he returned from his historic mission to open Japan to world trade. It is a little spaniel whose only bred purpose is to serve man as a companion. The dog has a large broad head, large wide-set eyes, and a short broad muzzle. The ears are small, V-shaped, wide apart, and set slightly below the crown of the skull, and well covered with hair. The forehead is quite round. The stop is deep, and the muzzle is short and broad. The nose is wide with an extremely short nasal canal. The eyes are protruding, set wide apart, large, round, and dark in color. The bite is slightly undershot. The body height and length are about the same. The front legs are straight, and fine boned, with the elbows set close to the body.
