Character
Kai Inu is the pride of Japan, a small strong dog originally from the province of Kai. The breed is also called brindle because of the characteristic color.
It is known for certain that back in the 18th century, kai-inu helped hunters track down wild boars and deer, she was highly valued for her working qualities. However, in the 20th century, the number of dogs began to decline sharply. The European breeds, which then gained popularity, were to blame. However, it was still possible to save tiger dogs from complete extinction. And in 1935 the breed was declared a national treasure.
Today it is difficult to see representatives of this breed even in their homeland. Unlike Shiba Inu and Akita Inu , these pets are rarely seen on the streets of Japanese cities. What can we say about other countries!
Kai Inu is a wonderful breed in all respects. A smart dog will appeal to everyone who appreciates loyalty, devotion and ingenuity. In addition, they are quiet and very calm animals that never bark in vain. Kai-inu gives vent to emotions only on a walk during games and running. However, without proper exercise, the dog’s behavior becomes destructive: it gets bored, plays with prohibited items, and can even spoil the owner’s furniture and belongings.
Kai Inu needs training . Moreover, such a pet is hardly suitable for a novice owner as a student – dog breeds from Japan are too independent and independent. Therefore, it is better that professional dog handlers work with them .
A tiger dog is a pet of one owner. The dog treats family members with love and understanding, but truly appreciates and respects only the leader.It is worth noting the cleanliness, accuracy and disgust of the Kai Inu. In this they are similar to the Shiba Inu. Dog owners admit that their pets often avoid puddles and sometimes even prefer to stay at home in rainy weather.
By nature, kai-inu strive for leadership and can be quite jealous. Therefore, they get along only with those animals that already lived in the house before them.
The relationship of a dog with children depends on the nature of the pet itself and the behavior of the child. Some animals quickly become attached to babies, protect and protect them. Others try their best to avoid contact.
