About the Kishu Ken

The Kishu Ken, also known as the Kishu Inu, is a rare breed that’s renowned for its loyalty and intelligence. This purebred Japanese dog makes a devoted companion for both families and single owners alike and is fairly easy to care for.

Although they’re athletic and were bred for hunting, they don’t require a huge amount of exercise and 30 minutes a day is usually enough.

However, if you’re just looking for a cuddle buddy, the Kishu Ken is probably not for you as they need consistent mental stimulation to keep them engaged and are known to be independent and headstrong.

To help you learn more about this majestic breed, we’ve laid out a detailed guide with all the tips and information you need to decide if this is the right pooch for you!
