(Image) I did find that pic of a Daito Dog on Facebook... Looks more Shiba Inu esque.
-
I'm just going off of what Yuichi Tabane said about the breed and that's that they looked like Long Coated Shiba Inu with Chondrodysplasia. In the post both Yoshio and Yuichi wrote, neither of them said they'd re-created the breed. Only that both …

Shikoku can be aloof with strangers and they can have a certain play style that some western dogs can't tolerate sometimes.

Ryukyu Ken Hozonkai specifically state the different brindles: Aka tora, kuro tora, shiro tora. They also separate the two Red colours as "Aka (Golden Eye)" and just "Aka". Although, despite Ryukyu Ken coming in more than 1 tail …

I've seen a silver brindle Hokkaido (but it would just be registered as brindle, same as Akita do). Let me see if I can find the pic... EDIT: (Image) Omg. That's one of the most beautiful dogs I've ever seen <3

@Crispy yes it is a fault. I have heard tales of White Sesame Shikoku. I think Shigeru mentioned them on his blog once. I'll have to look up the White Sesame Shikoku and see it. I wouldn't be surprised if they're the exact same colour honestly... I…

@PoetikDragon I have heard of Silver Brindle Akita, I'll be honest when thinking of a Silver Sesame Shikoku I'm thinking of the same kind of silver that Akita Inu have :)) Aside from Akita Inu, until I found this Silver Shikoku, I only knew of Ryuk…

@Crispy Yeah... It is pretty expensive. It isn't on the UK Amazon so getting it from Japan for me would be £180 for the actual book and about £80 import charges. D: I've been told about a book called NIPPO Winners Book... Apparently it has picture…
-
@TheWalrus thank you so much! I'll see what I can do about ordering that book to the UK! I'll have a look through your blog as well! :)

I would ask them to do an X-Ray for Hip Dysplasia and check your dogs knees as well. My Border Collie is the same and he has Hip Dysplasia and grade 1-2 luxating patella. :( I wish you the best of luck at the vets!

I think Amazon UK might have it now, I just looked it up on the UK Amazon and quite a few options came up. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dog-Man-Uncommon-Mountain-Paperback/dp/B00XDGTJ7I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1506818385&sr=8-2&keywords=Dog+…

If you're interested in Matagi and the whole history of the Akita you should give the book "Dog Man" a read. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1594483906/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_YP1ZzbJCGXFHG The man the book is written about it is friends with one …

There's a kennel in Russia that I've emailed back and forth with for the past year that hunts with AA's and JA's on Bear, Boar, and Moose. I've seen videos of their dogs, and they're all pretty solid baying/catching dogs. The owner, Maxim, hasn't ha…
-
Nope. Hunting Akita are looooooong gone. If you look at the history, the breed is based off of hunting dogs, but they weren't 'Akita', they were Matagi Inu (Matagi were the subsistence hunters of the north). When they started using these dogs for do…

Sorry I haven't replied in about 9 months! (life has been hectic). @TheWalrus I didn't think it would be as easy as a quick Google search, although I had hoped it might be. I suppose even if you could get to Okinawa it would then be a case of know…
-
@Vulpesvulpes89 I am glad to see I am not the only one who wants one. To be honest, I'll probably be able to get one end of 2017/2018. If all goes well and they are my kind of dog, I'll probs import 2 more from 2 different breeders, do health test…
-
Though, to be honest, If I had the Money I'd probably just spend it on importing a Silver Brindle Japanese Akita and a Kai Ken from Japan, lol.
-
@Kaja Yes, exactly like them! :) Ha. I wish. I cannot afford it or have the time to go, either. I've been studying Japanese Culture for years now and love Japan, but never been outside of my country because I haven't got the money or time.
-
@omgtain Thanks. I emailed Shigeru last night asking if he knew anyone/anywhere I could get one from :) Hoping to get a reply at some point. I think I need friends in Japan so I can get things like The Tale of Mari and Three Puppies book and other d…
-
@MirkaM Yes, I am aware [at least I think]. There are no breed clubs, and they aren't on the IMP register here. The only kind of registration a Kai could have currently is on the Activities register and that just means the Kai can do Championship A…
-
@PoetikDragon I probably should edit my post, lol. 16 weeks may be a bit too much of an age. I was factoring in the 30 day quarantine I think may be needed. I can't find info regarding whether i need it for here or not. I was told that finding an …
-
Lol, I just saw the generic puppy pictures on Facebook on the BCM Off Topic. I think you should name him Poteva (Cloud) or Soffice (Fluffy). :) They're Italian Names for an Italian dog xD (I think Mama's are italian anyways...)
-
I'm not a breeder myself, but I hope to breed Kai's in the future if my first Kai adapts well to where I live. I want to breed to widen the gene pool of the Kai's (Especially here in the UK where there is only 1 Kai Ken.), make Kai's Healthy, and t…
