Another Possible Kai in Taiwan ?
I received this from Red. What are your thoughts about this one? I will say that 27 pds. sounds too small, but Mei Mei came to me at 29 pds. and is now a healthy 40 pds. These dogs are really thin with no healthy muscle.
Pam, Royal Kennels, said she thought that this may be a Kai.
Hi Tara,
Kiwi was tied up by a tree when a wildfire flushed through and burned her.
My friends in TUAPA rushed down and took her and got her treated for
her burns.
But they cannot keep her, there is no room for her. So once her burns healed
up, they got her spayed and notched her right ear (so everyone knows she has
been spayed). If a home can't be found for her, she will be released into the
streets to fend for herself.
I can't take her. I'm full. I talked to Dave C. from Colorado who is looking for
a female Kai to adopt, but Kiwi is too small (~30 lbs.) and he needs at
least 40 lbs. to keep the coyotes from trying to attack her. (he might be interested
in Creamy, the Akita/Shiba Mix I was talking about last month ...)
So we're working hard to find a place for Kiwi so she won't be let loose into
the streets....(see her burn scars). To my untrained eye, Kiwi has got to be about
as close to a Kai Ken as I've seen from Taiwan. But what do I know ? I'm a Shiba
guy (tell me again how I ended up being Kai Rescue too, LOL ...)

Gen, I also thought Formosan.
I had a chance to meet a group of them this weekend at Pt. Isabelle. They had a Formosan Preservation Society meetup. There were about 10 there. If it is a Formosan, then this dog is a mix.
Good news. Looks like she found a home in Toronto.
