Wanted to know, I’m a new owner of a 7 1/2 month old male Kai. I have a large yard (about ½ acre) fenced in and have a large variety of animals that come up to the 4 foot fence (Deer, Elk, Foxes, Coyotes, and unfortunately, Mt. Lions). My 13 year old Akita had to be put down last month, so Kibou my new Kai is all alone when I'm at work all day. He has 24/7 access to the house with 2 dog doors, but wanted to know how well these dogs do by themselves. And do Kai’s jump fences or like to run away? I managed to get Kibou not to bark at the Elk and just watch them, but he wants to get to the Foxes. I have been thinking of getting him a companion from the local dog pound, but wanted to know what other owners of Kai’s had experienced.

  • I want to thank you, shibamistress for posting the Kai-Ken look alike at Blue Moon Akita rescue. Turns out I'm going to adopt her. Her name is Nina, and she would make a great playmate for Kibou. She is 15 months old, Kibou is 10 months old which…
  • Thanks for sending the post. From what I've read about Jindo's is they are jumpers and could easily jump over our 4' fence. I like Jindo’s but if this is true about them, I wouldn't want Kibou to learn this. So far Kibou respects the fence and ha…
  • Well it all started when I decided I wanted a Japanese Dog, long story short, I decided on a Kai-Ken. I called around and sent an email to Brad, and he said he wouldn't have a puppy for quite a while. I had to look elsewhere, and nobody would have…
  • Hi everyone, this is Dave, Kibou's owner, once I figure out how to use this forum, I'll be more sociable. Thanks to Brad for helping me post pictures. Thanks for all the nice comments, my Wife and I think he is a handsome Dog. When we take him to …
