Introduction

Kai Kane is athletic and intelligent with a keen desire to hunt. Kai is an independent thinker and can form a strong bond with his family. They are excellent swimmers and climbers and are known to climb trees and swim rivers in search of sport. Kai has a different brindle coat that comes in three colors: Black Brindle (Kuro-Tora), Brindle (Chu-Tora), and Red Brindle (Aaka-Tora). The red brindle coat is the rarest of colors. Different colors and brittle patterns enabled the dog to blend into the mountain forests in which he hunted, hunting it against prey and predators in ancient times. The amount of brindle will vary from dog to dog as well as the brindle pattern. Most puppies are born completely black and as they age, their lives begin to emerge and will change for the first five years of their lives. At home, Kai Kane requires basic canine care. They can be housed in an apartment setting provided they receive regular exercise in the form of a leashed walk. Being a naturally clean breed, bathing should be limited to only getting dirty. Brushing is recommended, especially during blowing coats twice a year.

Kai Ken Dog Breed

History

Kai ken is one of the six native Japanese breeds. The breed was discovered in 1929 in the mountainous regions of Kai Province near Mount Fuji. In 1931, Kai Kane Aigokai was formed and is the oldest and largest Kai Kane Registry. Due to the breed’s hunting severity and agility, it was traditionally used to hunt a wide range of game ranging from pheasant to bear.

Kai was recognized by the Japanese Kennel Club in 1934. Due to the language barrier, there is very limited information on the breed, but it is believed that Kai Kens was first brought to the United States by US soldiers in the military in the 1950s. A pair were also sent to Salt Lake City. It is not known what happened to these dogs or if there are any living offspring. The next known arrival of the breed was in 1990 when a four-year-old male was brought in and, shortly thereafter, three female puppies. In 1991, six more puppies were brought in and in the following year, another male puppy was imported. These dogs created a genetic pool for the all-American breed Kai Kane; They are the foundation of the moss we have today.

Originally there were two types of moss cans from two great foundation studs. KAIKURO will be of the “”vial-inu-gata”” type which is a plump, stockier dog with a more bear-type face. DARRO, famous for its deer hunting, is credited for its long body with a thin face, known as the “”Shika-inu-gata”” type. Each dog today gave strength, speed, agility and quick thinking to its descendants as a breed. Currently in Japan, mosses are considered very high by the Japanese, they no longer differentiate the two types, and neither type is preferred over the other. The Japanese describe Kai as a trusted guardian who is extremely devoted to his master, and they say that a Kai will devote his life to protecting his master. They are much loved and preserved in their country of origin and are considered a natural treasure in Japan.

General Appearance

The Kai Ken body should be strong with typical features of Spitz dogs: pricked ears, a dense coat and a curled tail. Their head should be wedge-shaped with a long snout that measures the same size as the skull. They have a well defined stop. Their lips are dark in color and fit tightly. Their nose is brownish-black or black, while their small eyes are dark brown. Their triangular ears stand proudly on their head, on the side of the face. The neck should not be weak and should be wide enough.

The Kai Ken’s body is moderately rectangular in shape, with a deep chest, medium tuck-up and firm, short back. Their powerful limbs are well-muscled, ending in rounded claws with hard, durable pads and black claws. Unlike many spitz breeds, Kai Kens have a tail that does not necessarily curl on their back, but can form the shape of a sickle. The tail fur is somewhat longer than the fur on the rest of the coat.

The Kai Ken’s plush coat is one of its most recognizable features. Double coat provides significant protection from the external environment; Especially the soft, close-fitting undercoat. Any brindle coat color is acceptable, with the stripes becoming more prominent with age. Small patches of white may be acceptable.

Usually, it happens around day 14. In this period the bitch’s discharge changes for distinctive red and reaching its end. The vulva gets back to average, and she will no longer allow mating. The fourth part called the Anestrus. The time span between heat periods ordinarily keeps going around a half year. The litter size ranges between 6 to 8 puppies at a time.

Grooming

Kai Cane has a medium length double coat. They are a naturally clean dog that only needs an occasional bath. Being a double-coated breed, they lose their undercoat twice a year. During this time, extra bathing and brushing will help remove thicker undercoats. When their undercoat is not shed, occasional brushing will keep their coat in good condition. Their nails should be trimmed regularly with a nail clipper or grinder to avoid overgrowth, splits, and breakage. Their ears should be checked regularly to avoid a buildup of wax and debris, which can lead to infection. The teeth should be brushed regularly.

Training

If mosses do not get the proper amount of exercise, they can become destructive indoors.

Exercise

Kaikai ken should perform well on high quality dog ​​food, whether it is professionally manufactured or prepared with the supervision and approval of your vet.
