Male vs Female
Does anyone have an opinion on whether owning, or should i say being owned, by a male or female Kai Ken has an advantages or disadvantages? It would just be my husband, myself, and a cat (not sure if we would get male or female). The Kai Ken would be primarily mine. So what sex is recommended for a female owner?

Koda was bred by a married couple with children in the house. His father is more attached to the husband, and his mother is more attached to the wife. Koda is attached to me, but loves men! It's really hard to say, and I don't think there's a clear answer. Kind've a stinky answer, but I guess my answer is there are no true gender lines pick a healthy pup and see where it takes you. Probably doesn't matter though, because I think once you get one Kai you will want another.
Maybe other owners can tell you the difference between male and female personalities and that can help. I would ask Marian or Brad.
I say it depends on the individual dog. Some people prefer males or females, but in my experience, it's usually just in their heads. Which is fine, I mean, whatever you want, right? But if you feel fairly neutral, I'd go for individual temperament before I'd worry about sex.
Since Koda's neuter, he is probably more lovable. His focus is more on me in public than on females. It used to be when he played with one, I couldn't get him away. Now, I can call him from 20 feet away and he comes. He is still a good watchdog, and will sound the alarm if he needs to (or thinks he needs to). He is very protective.
