  • I know @Crispy has done some weight pulling entries with Kishu Ken a couple of times. I think it's a great activity, I've never done it but would love to someday.
  • Hi I'm in Italy also with my Kishu. I only know of some Shikoku and one other female Kishu in northern Italy. I live outside of Napoli. Where in Italy are you at?
  • I couldn't see my Kishu or my other two boar dogs going up against a coyote personally. Not even to bay one, the only type of Coyote hunting with dogs that I know about is with Greyhounds or other large powerful breeds that have the speed and power …
  • Beautiful! NIPPO will surely make a new classification for the Hokkadoodles :D
  • Jason looks great! I hope the SAR program works out for you guys :)
  • @Koujichan thanks! Raiden does pretty well with my Akita. She’s a pretty confident dominant female so Raiden gives her space, doesn’t bark/growl when playing with her, and is overall polite and she lets him do whatever really. He just knows her boun…
  • Thanks guys! We're currently in Italy until probably October of this year then we'll be moving back to the states. I plan on doing a lot more hunting and development once I get back since the laws here in Italy make hunting more expensive and diffic…

  • 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…
  • I would probably crate her when I left the house, and work more on crate training to help secure the house training she already has. Do you have a crate for her?
