Ears are up. He is a good looking boy, so sleek. ## _dlroberts · 2008-04-25T10:59:23.000Z That's awesome Brad! Although, I must admit I'm going to miss laughing about the different ear positions in all of his pictures. You still have to put together that mutating gif of his head with ears in different positions. Seriously though, he's become a really handsome guy. His coat looks so healthy and shiny and he looks like he's got great muscle. Yay Kona! ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-04-25T11:08:22.000Z he has the most precious eyes.  what is it like to own a kai ken? do they have an even more primitive disposition than a shiba or akita or are they similar? ## sujewel · 2008-04-25T11:15:25.000Z LMAO! He's so cute!!!! ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-04-25T15:05:43.000Z His ears are still up today, so this must be the real thing. The other day his ears were up, but then they were down by the night. Its fun to watch. I agree tho, I like him better with his ears up. As for owning a Kai-Ken... they are like Shikoku/Akita mixes. In a lot of ways they are as primitive as a Shikoku, maybe even more (so that is to say they are a lot more primitive than a Shiba or Akita)... but then in other ways they are a lot more tame than a Shikoku. He is more mellow in the house than Shikoku, more like an Akita, but he mos def posses the Shikoku persistence and even takes it to a higher level. If he wants something he will not just give up like, for example, a Shiba or Akita would. this is a very primitive quality and can be rather frustrating to live with. ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-04-25T15:06:43.000Z You made my day with that headline! He is too cute. He has human eyes. ## Romi (admin) · 2008-04-25T15:13:38.000Z Awww... I love Kona so much! He is so adorable!  He's all growns up now *sniff sniff* ## Chanur Akita · 2008-04-25T18:53:54.000Z So funny Kona! :-) He's beautyful with his hears's up! ## MommyofNiko · 2008-04-25T19:35:18.000Z I love him! ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-04-25T20:03:57.000Z He's a funny dog... he makes us laugh all the time. When he walks around the house he drags his toenails on the ground... it's really funny. I'll have to get a video of it. He also has no facial expression... just totally stoic. ## Harlow · 2008-05-02T13:38:13.000Z It gives him a whole different look! ## brandon_w (admin) · 2008-05-02T13:44:27.000Z You should rename him Batman.  Batman doesn't use facial expressions either.  You could dress him up and take him to the premier of The Dark Knight! ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-05-02T14:24:03.000Z lol - That would be great! I agree tho, he looks really different with his ears up... I like it! ## okiron · 2008-05-02T21:21:12.000Z So does that mean his ears are staying up regularly? ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-05-02T22:23:10.000Z yea, they are up! Have not gone down for a week or so.  :c) --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
