Hello everyone,
I live in Houston, Texas and I got in touch with Mrs. Campbell, Marian from Classy kennel 2 months ago. After our conversation, I put down a deposit for a male Black brindle Kai puppy and luckily, there is one for me. I already purchased a airplane ticket to come pick him up on January 7th 2014. Right now, I still don't know what I should name him. Any suggestions is appreciated.

    Congratulations! I have a black brindle too- and they are really stunning as their stripes come in. Maybe a name will come to you when you meet him!

    Hi, i am really excited about the pup. Just curious, what do you name your kai? And how old is your kai?

    I have 2-

    Juno is my red female, she is 2 years old (she'll turn 3 in about a month). Her registered name is Yamabushi no Momiji Juno. Momiji means autumn foliage/red maple tree. Yamabushi is the name of her kennel. I chose Momiji because we live in Vermont, known for its colorful autumns and maple syrup. I chose Juno because it is a strong female name that doesnt sound like any of my other dogs' names. I call her Juno, Juju, Junebug, Bug and all sorts of other nicknames.

    Matsu is my black brindle male. He is 15 months old. His registered name is Yamabushi no Kanjiki Matsumori-Go. Again, Yamabushi is his breeder, Kanjiki are traditional Japanese round wooden snowshoes, and Matsumori = "pine forest." Matsu has very round webbed feet, like snowshoes, and our land is next to the Green Mountain National Forest, so it's very piney here. I call him Matsu or Mats (which sounds like "Mahts"), Mr Black, KuroMatsu (Black pine) or if he has been exceptional "Matsu-Freakin'-Mori!!" :)

    Because we enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle, I gave my kais outdoorsy names.

    @WrylyBrindle I can't believe Juno is almost 3 already, time really is flying
  • WrylyBrindleWrylyBrindle

    Wow... are they good with other dogs? and how big are they?
  • WrylyBrindleWrylyBrindle
    Both have passed CGC test, and Juno recently passed CGCA (Advanced Canine Good Citizen). Juno is very good with meeting new dogs, Matsu is a great with some and not so much with others, but he is really good at following directions so can work around dogs if everybody's working, and can ignore a dog barking at him on a walk. We live in a very rural place, so they dont meet a lot of new dogs. My dogs are woodsmen. :)

    Kai are smaller than they look in photos. Juno is 28 lbs and Matsu is between 41 and 45. Matsu's back comes just about up to my knee.

    It's really helpful to know as much as you can about the pup's parents, healthwise and temperament wise since your pup gets his range of possibility from those parents, and you will know what to expect of your new little guy. As a good owner Marian will expect you to want to know all about the kais, so don't be afraid to ask her anything! Meet the parents.

    I'm sure Marian will be available to answer questions as your puppy grows, but being right there with her and the dogs in front of you is an important opportunity.
  • ParadiseParadise
    @WrylyBrindle Thank you very much for your advice. You are right. Puppies get part of their personalities from parents. I will ask her more about the parents personalities. As far as it goes, puppies are in great health condition and they are growing fast.

    I think I would name my pup "Kiba" which means "Fang". Any other thoughts? Thank you for helping and giving me great advice.

    Stop posting cute puppy pics! It makes me want a Kai! :)

    I like that name, there are a few Kiba's on the Shiba Inu forum!

    My little guy is black with red brindle color. Mrs. Campbell says the brindle stripes are coming in very nicely.

    Good name! We look forward to more pictures as he grows up into a fine young fellow!
  • ParadiseParadise
    @WrylyBrindle Thank you very much. Only 4 more days left. I'm counting down ^_^
  • SayaSaya
    Saya is from Marion she is a shiba inu though. She looks just like her mom. Saya's personality is great and she has had no allergies to food or environment yet.

    coarse she is a shiba much different from kai ken. I'd definitely ask plenty of questions on parent's temperament and personality.

    Kiba is a cute name and fits well with NK breed as they have some fangs on them. hehe

    Good luck with your pup keep us updated.
  • ParadiseParadise
    Such a bad day. My puppy will not be here until saturday... 4 more days to wait... :(
  • sjp051993sjp051993
    The weather has been really bad and the temps way too low. It would not be safe for the puppy to be flown in that ind of weather.
  • TrzcinaTrzcina
    Yeah, we've had record-breaking lows tonight here in Michigan (I believe it was -14 last night, without windchill). I almost spun out three times driving to and from work because of road conditions--and I'm not exactly shy of driving in winter conditions.

    So it's better for him to wait a few days so he can get to you safely :) I'm sure it's hard to wait, though!
