They're a neat breed. I've never met one in person tho.
-
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I'm interested in breeding a few years down the line (specifically JA or Kai) as well. How do you go about finding a mentor? @koujichan - Reach out to a breeder you respect and ask for their guidance in getting star…

It's been my mission for a long time to support and encourage new Kai breeders.

Every couple years a Kishu breaks out of a kennel and mauls a person in Japan. Same with Tosa. So both breeds are considered dangerous there.

I'm late to this, and can't really add much that hasn't already been said about "why a Shikoku?" ... But, something that irritates me a bit in the crossbreeding world is this idea that the resulting cross will be healthier due to it's gene…

@Ajax @Kaja - LOL! I guess that shows my insecurities, huh? Most of the Kai shown in the video are very small, so I guess it was the angle. Loa (the Shikoku) is an old lady, she's 10 years old. She's allowed to be a little "fluffy." Pl…

I appreciate all the support. :) The NK video wasn't the video that got people threatening me, it's all the videos one after another, that make me look like a crazy dog hoarder, that seemed to make the "activists" upset and want to report…

Maybe I'm stupid, or sheltered, but the level of hate and trolling that came about from these videos took me off guard. I figured there would be a few, but the number of them and the level of negativity was surprising to me. Like people saying they…

I am bananas.

@Ajax - Any chance you could share a video of his movement? I'm curious.

Don't take it so personally, @Carleen. All Kishu Ken are inbred. The Japanese are rather heavy handed in their inbreeding (aka 'line-breeding"), especially in the Kishu breed (and especially in NIPPO breeds). A simple study of NIPPO pedigrees w…

I ignored this thread because I'm sick of arguing with show breeders and control freaks in dogdom but, I figured I'd give a few thoughts on why we've focused on importing Yushoku first and on why these controlling show breeder types are fighting a l…

This article made it's way across my FB community, and was forwarded to me by a few people. It annoyed me. Not a very helpful comment, but I don't feel I can add much to what's already been said. I think a lot of socialization comes down to what y…

@dachiboy - Yes, I own a CO, Kai, Kishu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, Shiba, Gampr, CAO, Boerboel, Tosa, and a Dogo Argentino. I used to own CC, Kangal, Jindo, Fila, WSLm and Akita.

One note on the strangers-giving-treats thing, at first just have them drop the treat on the floor close by so Kaja can get it on her own terms. Sometimes a stranger trying to give a (shy) dog a treat can actually worsen the situation as it adds a l…

In Colorado you can run dogs on Cougar, Bobcat, Squirrel, Coyote, Marten, Weasel, and Grouse. In New Mexico you can run dogs on all those things + Boar and Bear. In Arizona you can run dogs on the same game as New Mexico, but you cannot run dogs …

Neat pup! Congrats!

Closing this thread because I've had complaints about it. Moving forward let's try to keep it professional.

I've had similar revelation, Claire ( @PoetikDragon ). Nicely written.
-
It depends on the situation. But you should always set your dog up for success. My opinion is, if you are out at a park and you see another dog, and you have a dog who is not always kind to other dogs, it's your job to remove your dog from the situ…

Thanks all! :) I love puppies at this age, they're so clumsy and cute.
