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. Therefore, 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 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. However, 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. Therefore, 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, which has retained its instinctual nature and “Wild” 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 āāand, 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 Ć¢ā¬ā¹Ć¢ā¬ā¹you 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
However, 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.. However, 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. Therefore, 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. However, 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 Ć¢ā¬ā¹Ć¢ā¬ā¹owners turn to the so-called BARF method, which can be roughly translated as “biologically appropriate raw feed for the species”. 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.
