Understanding the Kishu breed

Kishu dogs are a Japanese breed that were originally bred for hunting. They are known for their loyalty and independence, but they can also be reserved and cautious around strangers. Kishus have a strong prey drive and may not get along with small animals like cats or rabbits. It’s important to understand the breed’s characteristics before socializing them.

Why socialization is important for Kishu dogs

Socialization is important for all dogs, but especially for Kishus. It helps them become well-adjusted and confident in different environments and situations. A well-socialized Kishu is less likely to develop behavioral problems such as fear or aggression. Socialization also helps them learn how to interact with other dogs and humans properly.
