[VIDEO] Kai Ken hunting (boar and kamoshika)
Ran across these videos. The boar testing looks pretty promising! Also, it shows how crazy the Japanese backcountry can be.
@TheWalrus - It this Okabe-san's videos? I ask because the Channel is named "kaiken tenroukensya"...

Guess who has a hunting evaluation on Thursday :):):) Guns, birds, scents and everything. It was really hard to find someone without any prejudice to these breeds. We are also taking two of our most drivey/birdy Shibas.
The bottom video looks like some of my rocky woods. Kai are All-terrrain- Reilly and Sage would never go where Juno goes. Sage because a) he doesnt hike but more importantly b) is very cautious by nature, Reilly because she is too big and not well balanced structurally for that sort of thing. (all chest, long legs)
@WrylyBrindle - The second video I think really shows the Kai's all-terrain-ness. I love that about them.

So, I think Akashi's mother (and his mother's sister) were good kamoshika dogs. I wonder if one of them is in the first video? They look a bit like Sakura...
It's probably safe to say that the dogs in these videos are pretty closely related to Haru's first litter, Kumi's first litter, Kumi's second litter, Ayu's first litter, and Haru's third litter (via Riki, Kumi, and Akashi). That means these dogs are related to your pups @lindsayt, @WrylyBrindle, @Hinata23, @hondru, and @jujee ... ( and future pups @LynnC, @tjbart17, & @CarabooA )
I hope I didn't miss anyone...

@Lindsay, keep us posted on how Akuma's hunting eval goes!
Kai ken in the video look so good and able with hunting good they can do what they were bred for.
Saya likes to run in the tall grass and scare up birds and things. She is on long leash 30 foot, but she comes when called even when excited and I've let her dragged the long leash into it so she went bit further in looking for mice and birds to chase.
She also loves climbing on trees and walking up steep hills she makes it look easy. lol
I can't imagine how much easier it'd look if a kai ken went up my woods steep hills..
I hope see more.
This ones a bit brutal.

I think most primitive spitz-like hunting breeds work in pairs like this. If there are more dogs then they adapt and work with that number, as long as it's not too crowded. I think all primitive spitz-like hunting breeds will "catch" if they feel that they have control over the animal.
