Nori

BradA1878

Jen got back yesterday from the Denver airport where she picked up our new Kai Ken pups - fresh off the plane from Japan!

Thanks to Shigeru for all the help he provided us in getting these pups here! I've been working on it for over 2 years now.

They are a little breeding pair, Tai is 12 weeks old and Nori is 8 weeks old. Both of them are SPUNKY and totally fearless. We have nicked named Tai "The Demon", Nori "The Monster" - they fit in well with Mochi "The Devil". )

I have yet to get some good pics of them, but I took some video yesterday...














Playing in the house...




Meeting Masha...







I'll take some pics later today. )

I'm dying from the cuteness!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! It's so great to see some new blood in the US.

Mochi has definitely met her match! LMAO. Watching those vid's I realized that Koda is like Kona in so many ways and Maymay is a maniac just like Mochi. They even move alike. It will be interesting to see how these two grow up.

Again congratulations Jen and Brad! I'm so happy for the two of you, and I can't wait to see Kai pups in a couple of years! I'm sure the wait list for your pups will be long in no time.

Very cute. I am glad to see some new blood coming into the us.

Excellent Brad, I'm so happy you were able to get the pups, now all you need to do is to start training them to hunt!

TaraA

They're so cute! Congrats! Nori's hilarious the way she was hopping around in those videos.

Edgewood

Cool! How exciting! :-)

tobyshiba

oh my goodness, they're adorable! Congrats Brad and Jen, good luck with them.
I wish you much luck as they mature.

"Do Tai & Nori remind you of any of your other dogs as pups Brad?"
>> Yes, Nori reminds us of Loa, she has Loa's puppy reactiveness, she is a little nuts like Ahi too tho... and a little antisocial like her as well. Tai reminds us of a mix between Ahi and Kona - not afraid of anything like Ahi and really rough and tumble like Kona.

Gen - I'm thinking they may be good boar dogs! Maybe they need to pay you a visit. )

dlroberts

Man, they just flew in from Japan and haven't even been on the Ranch for more than a day. I can't believe how they are doing after that ordeal. Amazing!

I'm afraid for you and Jen once they actually settle in. :-P

shishiinu

Any time you want Brad, my pigs are comming in next weekend from Michigan. I will now have my own training source, maybe I should open up a pig hunting training school??

ShikokuSpirit

Puppy Madness!

They are Sweet, Cute and Little Trouble Makers.


---------------------------------

Gen - Pig Hunting Training School sounds awesome!

Heidi

Oh man! They are super cute! That's so great, that you've got those pups imported. That'll be great for the breed.

Ok, got some pics today - Nori was hard to get to stand still, but Tai was pretty good about it...

wow they are CUTE!!!!!

shibamistress

my god they are SO cute! Congrats!

sjp051993

They are a very nice pair. They look like nicely put together pups. I love their markings already, and the mud goes well with their brindles.

TeamLaika

What fun! They are ROWDY! Mochi is convinced that you brought them just for her! I enjoy watching their play time.

TheWalrus

They look like they're settling in nicely. I should have warned you about Nori and shoes. Her and her sister have a serious shoe fetish. I have no idea why, but they go nuts over attacking shoes and pant hems. And good luck trying to catch her, she's so fast and bouncy it's next to impossible.

I'm just thrilled they seem to have handled the trip really well. Hope all goes well with the Kai Army!
