There was an error rendering this rich post.

Oh, I didn't remember that you are in Japan! I was thinking a Kishu- Kai mix in the states seems crazy unlikely! :) Thanks for clearing that up!
-
Hi! He is probably still growing at 6 months. Especially if his paws still look clunky. ;) How confident are you that this is truly the mix- Kai x Kishu? His coat is still a puppy coat. It might not get coarse till he sheds it all out again and…

Welcome, Tim! Im a fellow New Englander in Vermont with Kai dogs, but I admire all of the NK! The forum is a good resource for research, but as you will notice it's been very quiet for years now. Most of the action moved over to facebook, where sh…

I don't know if Krizs is on the Forum, but she breeds Hokkaido in Hungary and may know owners in Europe. her kennel is Itadaki kennel, if you wanted to reach out.

A tooth injury won't knock him out of breeding. The Kai Ken Society of America www.kaisociety.org is the national club for Kai working in relationship with AKC. The breed is in Foundation Stock Service at this time, and there's lots of steps to do i…

Hop aboard, Heidi! :) the member form is in the link above. There's lots of things to do together!

Maybe their level of caring is inconsistent day to day. Anyway, Good on you! Its a good name as it is and I hope they keep it.
-
Congratulations! and good work! They didn't make you put "America" in the name, huh? I wasn't involved when this began but as I understand it AKC didn't like our club name originally put forth "Kai Ken Preservation Society of America…

I think Claire's post is spot on and complete. They say what I'd take a lot more words and flourishes to say. Read it three times and take it to heart. I had a reactive dog for over 12 years, and I did separation/rotation of my males for over five…

Argh- I'm so sorry to read this. :( I'm not a Shikoku owner, but searching the forum should turn up several threads about the neurological stuff in the breed for people who know better than me.

I think that having owned a dog before helps, just as having done anything for the second time, the third time, etc., means you have a deeper pool of learning to draw from- BUT, one of my breeder friends told me a new person who is willing to learn …

Pictures of the dogs in question would really help this thread, but I'll take a stab at some of it: Lots of dogs/breeds in general can have a dark spot on the tongue. It doesn't identify any breed. More Kai than not have some degree of spotting. So…

Akashi is in Gold Beach, OR, at Hello Kennel. I think Yamabushi is not breeding Kai at this time, but I hope the Andersons get back in. Yes, talk to Tain at Hayaikaze! I am sure she will be happy to answer questions about Kai, and meet her dogs. …

I would say Kai or Hokka would be fun for you, But I'd also say that if you are in the PNW, that's a hotbed of Hokkaido owners and activity and if you wanted to get involved in an excellent breeding co-op with a mission and good mentors, that you ar…
-
^ good points about the Hokkaido effort. They also have the cutest little ears and big snow-paws, which are two of my favorite attributes of the breed. If I wasn't in Kai, my next fav would be Hokkaido.
-
I have 3 Kai- a 13 month old intact female, a 6 year old intact male, and an almost 8 year old spayed female. I think (obviously) that Kai are a lot of fun and mine have been hearty and hale. If you haven't already seen it, we have a FB group "…

Juno (kai) also has shown high K at her blood draw (end of 2017 I think) alarming our vet. The initial draw was sent out to a lab for a comprehensive annual senior bloodwork panel and upon receiving the results our vet recognized that only a VERY si…

As far as i know, Brad's is the only one for Kai. It doesn't have a search so its hard to use but I believe it is his plan to improve that.
