Can somebody explain the differences in personalities between kai and kishu to me? I like both breeds and wasn't sure what their specific differences were (besides looks).
You should take a look through the different threads for each breed, and also the general commentary, there is a lot of good stuff to read. Under each breed category you'll also find personal threads for individual owners/dogs to get an idea of what they are like. To get you started -
