Caring for a Kishu Ken

Health

Generally a healthy breed; hip dysplasia can occur given the breed's active, athletic build.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's genuinely high energy level — daily walks alone rarely satisfy this breed.

Grooming

Low-maintenance — regular brushing and occasional baths keep the coat in good shape.

Training

Highly intelligent and prone to boredom — needs varied activity and mental stimulation, and can be reactive to other dogs, so dog parks aren't ideal.

About the breed

A Japanese spitz breed historically used to hunt wild boar, favored in white coloring for visibility in dense forest.

Faithful, docile, and alert, Kishu Kens hunt quietly and are known for calm affection at home.
