Kishu Ken Puppy Weight Calculator

With rare reports of degenerative joint issues, no known degenerative eye conditions, and no known tested genetic conditions, Kishu Ken are a fairly healthy breed.
However, they might have a few mild to severe autoimmune diseases.
Environmental and food allergies, autoimmune thyroiditis, Addison's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, cutaneous lupus, and discoid lupus are among them.

Kishu Ken thrive on a well-balanced raw diet or premium kibble.
When given diets strong in beef and chicken or high in carbohydrates, some Kishu Ken experience skin problems or allergic reactions.

Seasonal "molts" cause Kishu Ken to lose their coat once or twice a year.
Dead coat can be eliminated at these times by bathing and drying with a high-velocity dryer.
They should have their nails trimmed as needed and may require periodic upkeep with a rubber brush or slicker.

Kishu Ken require quick and energetic training sessions, yet they are easily motivated by food and their relationship with their owner. Although they require a regular owner or trainer, training should never be severe or include punitive techniques.
When trained using these techniques, a Kishu may argue or fight with its handler.
They excel in sports and can be used for tests of coursing ability, agility, obedience, rally, nosework, fast cat, barn hunt, and more.
