    Introducing Kiyoshi - The Shikoku Ken

    Thought it might be good for a little update. We adopted a stray kitten, named him Ragnar (lol). Kiyoshi gets along ok with him, we just have to work on boundaries. He tends to crowd the kittens space and push him onto his back so he can lick him...sort of annoying. <a...

    Introducing Kiyoshi - The Shikoku Ken

    Thanks! The mark on his nose is from him scratching it open on 'something'. I'm hoping it heals up good :) I left him with a sitter for a week and he came back in less than perfect condition...with new fears :( It was very upsetting. I have proof that he was muzzled and although I was told...

    Introducing Kiyoshi - The Shikoku Ken

    Thanks everyone!! :) He's matured quite a bit over the past 6 months. We're keeping him intact in hopes of breeding in the future if all health checks pass. He's a VERY dominant male and has been since he was only 3 months old. He gets along great with females but we don't let him interact...

    Introducing Kiyoshi - The Shikoku Ken

    I think now is a good time for an update. He's 10 months old and doing great. We love him to death and couldn't be happier with how he's turning out. He's growing up to be a great dog. :) I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. <a...

    Feeding Raw - Bones?

    The ground up meat includes some extremely finely ground up bone, and I already add one of the sojos mixes to it, as well as include a vitamin supplement suggested by my vet..so I assume he's pretty well covered. But I'll probably try a chicken back or neck and see how he does. You should...

    Feeding Raw - Bones?

    I've been feeding a raw diet but have really only been using ground meat/meat without bones. I've heard so many different stories about dogs choking or cracking teeth on bones, or getting bone splinters stuck in they're intestines or puncturing they're insides. It's horrifying to me, as a new...

    Introducing Kiyoshi - The Shikoku Ken

    He was the biggest in his litter, but he should only be about 50lbs...we'll see though lol Everytime I tell someone 'only 50lbs' they laugh :)

    Introducing Kiyoshi - The Shikoku Ken

    I chose him because of they're uniqueness. But also because I wanted a therapy dog. Not all of the Japanese breeds are well suited for therapy work, most are aloof with strangers and very reserved. The Shikoku (most of them) LOVE people, they greet everyone and love on everyone with kisses...

    Introducing Kiyoshi - The Shikoku Ken

    They are quite a bit different than the Shiba. They are high energy, VERY in your face, and have a unique play style. They can be quite rough with lots of nipping, hair pulling, biting, pouncing, chasing, body slamming (into the ground), and skin pulling. It's Extremely rough and not for...

    Introducing Kiyoshi - The Shikoku Ken

    Thanks everyone! We have a Kai Ken in the family and I fell in love with her so I grew an interest in the Japanese breeds. These little guys aren't for everyone though. There's 3 kennels in the US (1 in Canada), and only a handful of litters born in the states every year. They are just as...

    Introducing Kiyoshi - The Shikoku Ken

    Thanks everyone! He flew im United Petsafe. He arrived in good condition despite being in the crate at least 16 hours, and the women that were at the petsafe desk were very concerned for him because he had pooped in his crate LOL But after a 12 hour flight, going through customs, and...
