Is this a Kai Ken?

edited September 2014 in Kai Ken (甲斐犬)
I was on adoptapet just browsing around and I found this dog right here: http://www.adoptapet.com/pet/10490607-williston-park-new-york-feist-mix

The description says she's a Feist mix (first time I'm hearing of this breed), but she looks more like a Kai to me! What does everyone think?

    feist is a type of dog, rather than a breed (kind of like pit bull is a type not a breed), a small hunting dog, but they usually don't look like that as far as I know, as they often have terrier in them. Here's a very basic link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_(dog)

    anyway, all said, that dog does look kind of Kai like. face and ears especially look a bit off from some angles, but....at first glance, from these photos, yeah, it does look like a Kai kind of.....Cute dog, regardless...
  • she kinda does look kai-ish- this humane society is in North Carolina though, not New York, that's odd.

    The location could be due to the fact that many dogs are brought up to NY from NC and other states in that region. You'd be surprised at how many cute and young dogs are brought up to my area because they are easier to adopt out than most breeds that locally wind up in the shelter (mainly pits). There's even a really big "rescue" that is basically like a pet store disguised of a rescue, pretty pathetic and a lot of people swear by them too.
  • oh, maybe that's it. Like how Sage's rescue was in Mass, but he was actually physically in Tennessee until I said "Send him to me!" then they trucked him up on transport.
  • this one looks most like kai to me out of all of the "do you think i have a kai mix?" type posts...who knows though :/

    It sure looks kind of like a Kai Ken. Not sure where they get Feist from. My in laws have a feist and it looks nothing like the picture of this dog. Hopefully this dog, whatever it is, will find a good home soon. :)
  • Doesn't look like a pure Kai to me.
