Kai Information
The Kai's homeland is surrounded by mountains, so the breed remained geographically isolated. With the introduction of firearms, the Kai was used by professional big game hunters who specialized in hunting deer and wild boar.
The breed was not recognized in Japan until 1934 and it is still quite rare. In part because of its legendary courage, the Kai was once thought to be too primitive to serve as a family pet, but that is no longer the case. In the United States, the Kai has proven to be a gentle and loyal family companion.
The Kai is a muscular dog that has an appearance similar to other Spitz breeds. They are smaller than the Akita and larger than the Shiba Inu.
While Kai's may be somewhat reserved with strangers, they are very friendly with people and are not aggressive with other dogs.
Males should be 18 and a half to 22 inches tall, females should be 17 and a half to 20 inches tall. Weight should be from 25 to 55 pounds.
