From 1603, from the akita prefecture, dogs called "Matagi Akitas" (medium-sized dogs for bear hunting) were used as fighting dogs. From 1868, race crossed with Tosa and Mastiffs. For this reason, the increased size of the race, but some features, traits of dogs Spitz type, disappeared. In 1908, by prohibiting dogfighting, This breed has been preserved, prospered and developed into a large Japanese breed. Then, in 1931, 9 Dogs of this breed dogs were recognized as excellent.

During the Second World War (1939-1945), often used the dogs' fur for making military clothing.

.

The situation of the race was bad. During the procedure of restoration of the race after the war, Kongo-go, a dog from the Dewa bloodline, enjoyed a temporary popularity but still very large.

A big number of Akitas of this bloodline, that presented characteristic exterior features of the influence of the Mastiff or German shepherds, They were taken to USA by US military. The Akitas belonging to the Dewa line were intelligent dogs capable of adapting to different environments.. They loved breeders in USA and the bloodline was developed thanks to the progressive increase in the number of breeders with doubled popularity.

it is so, as 1950 Japanese breeders decided to restore the old type, and use the Akita Inu of the line ichinoseski, created by Engineer Ichinoseski, and dogs spitz Japanese to recover the traits of the old Akita Inu.

The verdicts, it gives preference, in the countries affiliated with the FCI, to the Akita Inu without masks to Akita Inu with black mask, since the Japanese demanded it, and for being the country of origin of the Akita Inu, dominated his opinion on that topic.

It was like this, that in the 1990s there was a name change that differentiated the two branches: To the American Akita It was called "Great Japanese Dog» and is placed in the group II classification in FCI. U.S. experts do not accept the division and decide to continue placing the two races within one in beauty pageants.

it is so, as breeders and lovers of the breed from countries affiliated to the FCI, achieved in the year 2005 that locate him again in the Grupo V, and it is called a definitive, and with the consent of the Japanese as American Akita.

History

In the Decade of 1960, Julius Wipfel raised females of Keeshond (Wolfspitz) and males of Chow-Chow en Weinheim, Baden-Wuerttemberg, initially the Wolf-Chow. He finally raised this dog with him Samoyed and obtained an original dog with a natural structure and a balanced character.

In 1973 the breed was recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) and it is, therefore, the youngest German dog breed. The youngest breed, officially recognized German breed owes its name to its original European breeds (Keeshond = EUR) and asian (Chow-Chow and Samoyed = ASIER). The task of the robust companion and family dog ​​with character was not even hunting, nor grazing, nor on guard. The Eurasian was bred solely as a social partner for humans.

Physical characteristics

The Eurasian is balanced, well built, medium-sized, with erect ears. It can be of different colours: beige, reddish brown, the Grey Wolf, black. A characteristic feature is the pattern of the coat of agoutis and the patterns of bands and stripes, that for example wolves also have.
The male has a height of 52 to 60 the cross and weighs cm, approximately, of 23 to 32 kg. The female has a height of 48 to 56 cm to cross and weighs between 18 to 26 kg.
Typical of the coat of the Eurasian is his dense undercoat, which is an excellent protection against the cold and also repels dirt. Just the muzzle, the face, the ears and the front of the legs are short-haired. The tail, the back of the front legs and the back legs have long hairs.

By the way, the Eurasian get their tongues partially and sometimes even completely blue from the Chow-Chow, whose blue tongue merged with the pink tongue of the Keeshond and Samoyed.

Character and skills

The Eurasian is self-confident, quiet, tolerant, adaptable, willing to learn and smart. Above all, animals are very close to their family members, which does not make them a one man dog.

The Eurasian they need constant and close contact with their humans and are therefore completely unsuitable for housing in kennels. In an animal shelter, these sensitive dogs would suffer extraordinarily and eventually wither away. How the Eurasiers are so focused on their family, should not be left in the hands of other people, even when they are on vacation. Wants to be with his family, always and everywhere.

These sensitive animals have a special feeling for the mood and disposition of their humans, and have a distinctive social behavior towards others Eurasian. It also, dogs of this breed are elegant, self-confident and at the same time pleasantly stubborn. They can even trick their owners into getting their way.

Activities with the Eurasian

Although the Eurasian does not have pronounced hunting behavior, a certain prey drive may be present, as in most dogs. But, with a loving consistency, understanding, patience and treats, the Eurasian can be trained to become trouble-free and appreciative companions, that adapt to all situations in life. But, training in an outer hand is out of the question for a Eurasian. If you demand absolute obedience to a dog, you must choose another race.

The Eurasian they need about two hours of exercise a day. Your urge to move can be ideally satisfied by jogging, cycling the agility. Monotonous retrieval games like “fetch for sticks” quickly bore this intelligent animal..

Eurasian care

Despite the dense undercoat, the care of the coat of the Eurasian it is not complicated and is limited to brushing once a week only during the change of coat, must be combed daily. The Eurasier's tongue varies from pink to an infinite number of varieties from pied blue to pure blue.. The inheritance of Chow-Chow fascinates many passers-by and often leads to confusion with the Chinese race. A Eurasier is an incorruptible friend for life.

Buying a Eurasian from a breeder

If you want to buy a puppy of Eurasian, you will need to be prepared for waiting periods, because there are only some 300 or 400 puppies per year under the umbrella organization of the VDH (German Canine Federation. Cubs Eurasian cost around 1000 EUR.

Content

History

This ancient lineage of dogs, known today as Hokkaïdo (name of the second Japanese island, largest), It is also known as Kyushu or Ainu dog. According to historical data, its existence dates back to the year 1000 A.C. The offspring of Hokkaido dogs, is uncertain, but some authors believe that they come from the Nordic dogs. The Hokkaido is, probably, the oldest Japanese purebred. Similar to the Scandinavian Spitz in appearance, also has features of the Chow Chow and of the Shar-Pei.

Since its origins it has been used as a guard dog in the Hokkaido Island, and, as well, in hunting bears and other large animals.

In 1937, this breed was recognized as a Natural Heritage of the Japan, by the society for the preservation of Japanese races.

It is also a breed recognized by the FCI.

Rare monument of nature

The Hokkaido It is one of the oldest dog breeds in the Asian world and is part of the cultural heritage of the Japanese island. In 1937 Hokkaido fue incluso declarado «Monument of Nature» y desde entonces ha sido reconocido y protegido como una raza.

Due to the difficult to access regions of the island, los perros conservaron su «sangre pura» durante siglos. Unlike Akita or Shiba Inu, who gave way to Europe long ago, the Hokkaido still a very rare breed of dog, who is hardly ever seen outside of his home country.

Physical characteristics

The fur of this species is double: the sub-pelo is dense and soft and external hair is coarse and size medium or short. Its colors vary between fiery red, black and grey.

Character and skills

With regard to his temperament, Whereas it is a hunting and guard dog, we can highlight features such as bravery, impulsivity, agility and speed of movement.

Within the family, is a tame animal, Devoto, with a safe and protective temperament with children if he is accustomed to their presence from an early age. However, tends to be distrustful with strangers, reason why you need a good training and re-education of their less sociable side.
They are very active dogs and it is necessary to provide good rides, long walks, workspace very well to the family but they need space, have a garden where you can be at your leisure.

Hokkaido care

The coat of Hokkaido should be gently brushed regularly (about two or three times a week). You should even use the brush daily during the shedding to remove dead hair from your dog.. It also, Your dog's ears and teeth should be cleaned once or twice a week. To avoid injury, claws should also be trimmed regularly. You will hardly ever need to bathe your Hokkaido: first, le gusta saltar a los ríos o lagos y «bañarse» allí, in the second place, it is naturally very clean and thirdly, the skin's own protective barrier should not be attacked by too frequent bathing or even dog shampoo.

Hokkaido Health

In fact, a possible inbreeding in the breeding of Hokkaido in Europe, since due to the rarity of this breed there are very few breeding dogs. So, there is a realistic risk of undesirable hereditary diseases being introduced. A close look at the pedigree is worth it in any case and can perhaps prevent unpleasant surprises.. Apart from the problem of inbreeding, the dogs of Hokkaido They are very robust and resistant to typical dog diseases.. The life expectancy of healthy animals is between 9 and 15 years.

Hokkaido Nutrition

In addition to good genetic material, nutrition also has a decisive influence on the dog's health. Like descendants of the wolf, dogs are carnivores, this also applies to Hokkaido. The original dog especially likes fish. In his homeland., Japan, where it is still traditionally used for fishing and where salmon are caught on their way to spawning grounds with great skill and reaction speed, this preference is not always appreciated – because the Hokkaido first he eats the fish caught by himself and only gives away some of his prey when he is full.

Kai
Japón FCI 312 - Asian Spitz and related breeds

Origin: Japan
Character: Active and protective
Weight: Variable
Height: 48 to 53 cm.
Life expectancy: 14 - 16 years

Kai Tora-Ken

Due to the primitive character of the Kai, it is not recommended to keep it solely as a family dog.

Content

History

The Kai comes from the province of the same name «Kai», a region of Japan surrounded by mountains in Yamanashi prefecture. Among his ancestors are several medium-sized Japanese dogs that have been used for thousands of years to hunt bears, deer, boars, badgers and hares. Asian hunters especially appreciated the great independence and fearlessness of these dogs, who couldn't even resist fighting an adult bear.

Natural monument with export ban

Not only the remoteness of the region of the Kai, difficult to access, but also the tendency to riot probably contributed to the purity of this rare breed. Due to its great cultural importance, Japan declared to Kai as a natural monument in 1934. Since then, their export from Japan has been strictly prohibited., previously only possible under special conditions. So, in Europe there are almost no breeders with a breed Kai.

Physical characteristics of the Kai

The Kai medium size earns the necessary respect, particularly through his smooth, muscular body and extremely developed legs and hocks, with which some representatives of the breed can climb not only behind the back of the sofa, but even the trees.

The Kai males reach a shoulder height of about 53 cm., therefore slight deviations are tolerated. Bitches are somewhat smaller with 48 cm.. The weight is not indicated in the standard of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). But, should be in a reasonable proportion to body height and is usually a maximum of 18 kg.

The FCI, that classifies the Kai under the standard number 317, He tells it in the Asian top group. Like many other dogs in this group, the Kai has a rather pointed face, triangular ears and a tail of dense, tall fur, which he wears curled or sickle-shaped on his back.

typical currents

characteristic of Kai it's his brindle coat, that has been kept pure for thousands of years without the help of other races. The coat appears in the colors black, red and black-red tabby. But, develops typical current only after a year. In the first twelve months of the puppy's life, the coat is initially solid in color.

The hair Kai adult is hard and strong and has a soft and dense undercoat. So, is well protected from the sometimes extreme weather conditions of its home region, which is surrounded by high mountains.

Character and skills of the Kai

The Kai, also known as Kai Inu, Tora Inu o Kai tora-ken, he is a very original dog, that has preserved its instinctive and "wild" nature until today. Not only his distinctive hunting instinct and high alertness, but also their natural pack behavior and their unpreparedness for subordination are typical characteristics.. He is considered a dominant and independent hunter who sees little reason to follow humans unconditionally..

Is it possible to keep him as a family dog?

Due to its primitive character, it is not recommended to keep it solely as a family dog ​​and, should be well considered – though a hasty purchase of this rare breed dog, which is hardly common outside of Japan, not possible anyway. Anyone that, despite all circumstances and challenges, has proposed to maintain a Kai As a family dog ​​you must be aware that not only the great need for work and exercise, but above all the education and socialization of this original animal requires a lot of time. Much experience is required, patience, consistency and positive motivation to train this highly intelligent and willing to learn dog, but also stubborn, to become an adapted and uncomplicated companion.

A Kai needs a lot of attention

But, Whoever masters this challenge will be rewarded with an extremely loyal and watchful dog that will stand by his family without reservation and with protection.. Those who have earned the trust of the Kai They will notice that the initial reserve towards strangers soon gives way to an extremely friendly and loving being who enjoys the love and attention of his owner to the fullest.. But, his great passion for hunting and his natural sharpness should never be underestimated.

Kai Health

The low dispersion of Kai it is also the attractiveness of this breed, because compared to other Japanese hunting dogs the Kai is regarded as extremely genuine and pure. This is visible not only in his behavior but also in his robust health. The Kai you hardly need to fear the typical diseases of the breed, which are spread mainly by uncontrolled breeding. So, its average life expectancy is quite high, of 12 to 15 years.

Kai care

High vet bills or long, expensive grooming are no problem with this tough, naturally clean dog. Regular brushing or combing of the coat is absolutely sufficient. But, during the layer change time (twice a year), the Kai should come in contact with a brush daily. In this way, dead hairs can be eliminated and the flooding of strands of hair in the house can be reduced a little..

Kai nutrition

In his native Japan, the Kai still feeds almost exclusively on game. So he eats what the hunter leaves him from the captured animals. Whoever keeps the Kai as a family and companion dog it will not be able to maintain this original diet. To feed the dog as originally as possible, many dog ​​owners turn to the so-called BARF method, which can be roughly translated as "biologically species-appropriate raw diet". Here, the dog is offered only raw meat, enriched with vegetables or rice.

Where can I get a Kai?

Anyone outside of Japan who dreams of seeing a real Kai, much less buy one, will have great difficulties to fulfill this wish. The greatest opportunity to meet a Kai uro is visiting an international dog show where representatives of this breed are shown from time to time. If you do not have Japanese citizenship, you will have to settle for those short encounters or photos of this breed, for better or worse. If this is not enough for you, maybe I should look up breeds related to the Kai as the Akita Inu or the Shiba, that are quite similar in character and appearance to this breed.

History

The Kishu It has its origins several thousand years ago in the mountains of the «Kii Peninsula«, a region of Japan that extends over present-day Mie prefectures, Wakayama y Nara. In the past, the dogs did not have a uniform name, but were differentiated and named according to individual sections of the mountainous region of the "Kii Peninsula": Kumano Inu (kumano dog), Taji Inu (taji dog), Ouchiyama Inu (Ouchiyama dog).

From Hidaka to Arita the Kishus they were white and their names were Hidaka-Ken. In 1934 all these dogs were grouped under the name of the region and were called Kishu. Due to the remoteness of the mountainous regions, there were no crosses with other races or other race-changing phenomena in the Kishu Ken. For this reason, the Kishu it is one of the most original breeds of Japan, and one of the oldest dog breeds in the world.

In 1934 the breed was declared a natural monument of Japan and is therefore under state protection. Until the seventies it was forbidden to sell Kishu of Japan. Dogs could only be passed as gifts.

Although at the beginning of the breeding around the 70 percent of Kishus they weren't white, this is today the most common color within the breed. This is partly due to the fact that white dogs are easier to recognize when hunting.. Outside of Japan the breed has barely spread. There are a handful of breeders in the US.. and only a few dozen in Europe. The Kishu has some similarities with the Shikoku, the Kai Ken and especially with the Hokkaido, that are also not outside of Japan.

Physical characteristics of the Kishu

The Kishu measures approximately 46 centimeters tall, and weighs around 28 kg, is a medium-sized dog. The fur color is generally white. The fur is short, straight and thick with a layer of thickness. The ears are inclined forward and are rather small. This breed is strong, flexible and user-friendly.

Kishu's character and abilities

The Kishu is a hunting dog. In the Kishu region, dogs were used to hunt wild boar., deer, bears, hares and birds. according to the game, there were three directions of Kishus: deer, hare and boar / bear. The Kishu roe deer and hares hunter had a slightly lighter complexion that favored them on the hunt. Due to the non-optimal suitability of the breed, especially for hunting hares and small prey, this category did not prevail. Today almost all Kishu Kens historically they originate from hunting wild boar (and secondarily also) of bears. These Kishu Kens have a stronger physique, more pronounced musculature and a wild to sharp disposition.

In the old way of hunting, the hunter stayed in a place with only one dog and waited for the prey. Later hunting methods prefer game to be brought in by the Kishu Ken. The dog follows the game independently and silently. Like most Nordic hunting dogs, the Kishu only reports when you have placed the game. The dog's task is to "keep the game under control" until the hunter can shoot from a short distance.. Especially German hunters are often skeptical or incredulous about the abilities of the Kishu Ken to hunt the physically superior boar. In Japan, However, the skills of Kishu Ken they are highly valued. His ferocity and indomitable attitude make him so popular for boar hunting in Japan.. In Japan there has been an expression for decades that illustrates the special suitability of the Kishus as hunters:
«ichiju – ikku» – "a weapon – a dog".

Character:

Representatives of this Japanese hunting breed are characterized by their resistance, intelligence, great courage and, usually, a strong hunting instinct. They are considered as one-person dogs, who form a strong bond with their two-legged companion and behave loyally. The kishus tend to dominate behavior, which can lead to problems with congeners, especially among males. His dominance is sometimes displayed on his own four walls, where they often want to have everything in sight. The Kishus they are not submissive to their owners and always keep their own head. This leads to the fact that they normally only perform tasks when they see meaning in them.. Towards strangers they behave aloof to shy. They are conditionally suitable as watchdogs.

Kishu education

It takes a lot of knowledge and patience to educate a Kishu, because intelligent animals tend to be stubborn and domineering. But, if you are consistent and have the necessary calm, the Kishu they will recognize you. Toughness is out of place in education. Don't expect submissive behavior from this proud four-legged friend. Pay attention to the control and management of hunting behavior, sometimes very distinctive. But, It must be taken into account that it will be difficult to let a Kishu without a leash, because even optimally trained representatives of the breed are often not available when they watch the hunt.

Work to confidently keep it at bay when you encounter the game. It also, the four-legged friend's social compatibility should be the center of attention during parenting. Puppy play classes and dog schools in general offer a good opportunity, because here the young Kishu You can already come into contact with conspecifics of different sizes and thus strengthen your social skills. Please, note that the Kishu you must be physically and mentally exhausted if you don't want to engage in an unpleasant alternative activity – for example, destroying home furnishings or poaching.

Kishu Health

Some kishus have a tendency to hypothyroidism, that is to say, an insufficient supply of thyroid hormones, usually due to limited thyroid function. Symptoms include fatigue and reduced performance. The owners of a Kishu they should have their thyroid gland examined by a vet if these symptoms occur. This disease is not life threatening and can usually be treated well with administration, mostly daily, of an appropriate medication. Because of the shape of your eyes, the breed also has a greater genetic disposition for eyelid malpositions, what can, However, be corrected by surgery. Dogs Kishu they also have a tendency to food and environmental allergies. Otherwise, This Japanese breed is considered robust and has an average life expectancy of 13 years.

The Diet of Kishu

The best health precaution, in addition to buying from a responsible breeder, It is a high quality and appropriate nutrition for this breed. This specifically means that you should choose a dog food in which meat is the main component and is listed accordingly at the top of the claim. The grain should not be included – not just a bottom fill, it can also trigger allergies in some Kishus. If fed high-quality feed from the beginning, the risk of food intolerances is reduced. Even with previously unseen representatives of the breed, no sudden food changes should be made, but offer a new food slowly. Mix increasing amounts of the unfamiliar food with the familiar one and watch for your dog to show intolerance reactions. Of course, fresh drinking water should always be available for your Kishu.

If it is suspected that you Kishu have a food allergy, a unique diet makes sense to find out what your companion animal is sensitive to. For this you must be patient and consult your veterinarian, because you should only give a certain food during a predetermined period of time. If the complaints improve with feeding, you can try another feeding. If the symptoms worsen, contact your veterinarian to clarify the subsequent procedure. This way you can find out which ingredients you are allergic to. Kishu. Attention: No treatments should be given during this time if possible.

Kishu care

Brushing once a week is usually enough to keep this breed's coat in optimal condition.. But, during the coat change twice a year, you should use the brush more often to remove dead hairs. This also has the positive side effect of the quadruped losing less fur on the ground.. Dirt can be brushed off as soon as it has dried, or washed with a damp cloth. Compared to other breeds, the Kishus they are considered very clean dogs. When you groom your dog at least once a week, take a look at their ears to clean them with a dog ear cleaner, if required, and check its claws. The latter should be shortened if they become too long. This is usually only the case for Kishus older that move less, or dogs that walk mainly on very soft ground.

Where can I find my desired Kishu?

The breed is very rarely found outside of Japan. But, there may be a dog breeder living in your region who has dedicated their work to this breed. In addition to a handful of breeders in the US. and russia, there are a few in europe, especially in the czech republic, the Netherlands, Poland, Finland and Lithuania. In Germany no official litters of Kishu in recent years. So be prepared for long journeys, if you have decided to adopt a Kishu – and learn more about adopting a puppy abroad before. Be sure to avoid advertisers who claim to sell you a pup from Kishu – they are usually only interested in making a quick profit and you will hardly get a Kishu in this way.

It is unlikely that a Kishu adult outside of Japan, you should be very lucky if you are looking for a purebred dog. But, even if you have fallen in love with a Kishu, it might make sense to look for similar breeds of the Spitz type or corresponding hybrids at animal shelters – this also applies to puppies, of course. The chance of success is much higher and you've also given a homeless four-legged friend a new home. Find out in advance about the known history and character of the potential new family member – often, as in the case of their own Kishu, some experience with dogs is important here to allow a successful coexistence and avoid communication problems between the animal and the human.

History

The Chow Chow has been known for more than 2500 years in China, where it is represented in bas-reliefs of the time. Dog of mysterious origin, belongs to the Spitz family. Some believe it is a cross between a Tibetan Mastiff and a Samoyed., while others think it is more of an original dog, that is to say, that comes from the Nordic dogs (internal temperature above average, particular shape of the bony structure of your skull…). In any case, stories about the origins of Chow Chow they are usually just hypotheses.

In Manchuria and Mongolia it was used as a war dog, to watch over herds or rushes and as a draft animal. The Chow Chow they were also found in Tibetan monasteries: his function was to defend the monks. Occasionally it was a hunting dog, it was eaten in some parts of china, and his skin was also traded.

It was introduced in Europe in 1865, when Queen Victoria of England received one as a gift and started raising it. It was officially recognized by the Kennel Club English little less than 30 years later, in 1894. Today, only used as a pet.

The term «Chow Chow« has appeared recently. In fact, during the interwar period, the Chow-Chow It was known in the West as the "Hong Kong dog".

His eyes are dark, from Brown to black always small, almendrada form. The nose is completely black and wide except in color Chow cream and white, which supports the color pink. The mouth is wide and strong. They have a characteristic "stilt" movement, due to the peculiar conformation of their hind legs, which lack angle, and it makes it look like walking on stilts.

Those who have spotted or multi-coloured fur are considered outside the standards of the breed.

Character and skills

Today, the Chow Chow is commonly a companion dog. His strong sense of ownership of their homes with their - sometimes- intriguing approach to strangers may be misinterpreted by those who do not belong to his family.

Like this, a potential buyer of this breed should ask about the health status of the pet to buy. Animal caretakers must provide the client with a guarantee of the dog's health.
