You Kai people should check it out and make sure all their information is correct! With how popular Dogster is, we wouldn't want masses of people to be misinformed now would we? Not like we'd be able to get it changed right away...
Still kinda neat though.

    I saw that. They have info on pretty much all dogs breed I think..

    The day they celebrated the kai ken this dog owner posted this which worries me..
    http://www.dogster.com/forums/Kai_Ken/thread/682036

    Not sure if anyone know about the person, but she/he has a chow/GSD mix or some type of mix calls him a wolf dog and even breed him not sure if the owner still does it.

    I even directed the owner to a wolf dog forum so people who actually owns wolf dogs can tell the owner, but not sure if it sunk it the owner was even talking to them about getting another wolf dog to breed to Kiyoshi.

    Thankfully people said to not breed Kiyoshi anymore.. Hopefully the owner heeds the warnings.

    I feel sorry for the owner when she/he actually gets a mid or high content WD and gets in trouble since they require an enclosure, much more work then an dog.. Especially since the owner has issues with loosing Kiyoshi or his dogs not behaving chewing stuff..

    Sorry to be off topic or mean, but the post just worries me coarse she/he says wants to adopt so maybe wants to rescue, but still.. I worry since lot of the owners dogs have gotten ran over or past issues things like had puppies..

    Atleast with kai ken I hope all the breeders screen their buyers well..

    oooh, boy. I think it's cool and all to have a 'breed of the day' but when it's a rare breed like the kai, people think "oh dude, if I get that everyone will be jealous" or something around those lines... anyway I hope for the sake of the dog, that the person that Saya mentioned no longer breeds his dog - but knowing BYB it's likely he still does...

    That Dogster user is a real piece of work.
    She is a stellar example of why rescues, breeders, etc. MUST screen their potential adopters and buyers very, very carefully.

    @Saya, that dogster user posted that back in Aug of 2010. So it wasn't today that s/he posted it. I do remember that user too, s/he recently had a litter of shiba pups from a miscolored female that was under 2 years of age. I remember the posts in the shiba section on dogster. Ugh, and I was also sad to see that a lot of the dogs died or went missing that s/he owned. :T

    Glad the owner doesn't breed the mix, but the shiba being breed kinda got on my nerves especially when the owner wasn't sure if she mated with a male chihuahua or the male shiba inu.. Owner mentioned it on the wolf dog forum not dogster..

    I didn't check what date it was posted sorry.

    Just a question I've checked the ainu dog info page and a picture of a dog named Darkly is listed as a ainu dog he's 3years old, but only a puppy picture is up.

    Reminds me of a kai ken, but I dunno..

    I don't think that dog is an Ainu. I don't even think Ainu come in the all black color, I know they have the Black and tan pattern though, but not all black.

    That's a Kai.

    I submitted a request a week ago for them to change some information on the Tosa Inu page (that was the breed of the day a week or so ago), but they never changed it. They list the Shikoku Ken as "large", which is not very accurate. They aren't even large for Japanese standards.

    That's a Kai!
  • curlytailscurlytails
    Uh, did anyone notice the "arrival story" on that Kai? Did any breeders have a Kai puppy wander off that they were never able to account for?

    And Brad, my experience has been that if you persist and include references with your updated info, they can and will make changes to their core site. Remind them that it's in their best interest, as a well-trafficked dog site, to have accurate information for the sake of their own credibility. It can take them some time, but they do seem to get around to it eventually.

    @curlytails I was wondering the same thing. Man that Kai looks like Koda did as a pup. To the T! I wonder where they live and if they ever figured out they have a Kai.

    I message the person on dogster asking about it so far no replies, but seeing as it has only one picture could be fake or lost camera or lost interest in dogster I dunno. The profile doesn't list the last message the person wrote so I dunno..
