Shikoku About The Breed Originally bred for Hunting, the Shikoku Ken (also known as Kochi-ken) is considered to be one of the most primative of all the Japanese breeds. In 1937 the breed was established as a National Monument in Japan. They are surprisingly obedient, intelligent and quick to learn. Temperment varies between individuals from being friendly to being aloof with strangers. Today, Japanese breeders are combining these extremities to make for a much more stable dog. As with any dog early socialization is required as a pup. They do well in events such as Agility, Hunting, Obedience, and Tracking. They are a very energetic breed. Females average between 17-19 inches and the Males between 19-21 in size. Shikoku Standard Nihon Ken Shows: 2006 Nagano Show 2007 Kumamoto Show |
