I would recommend a Kishu Ken, but be prepared for their independent nature. They are known to be a bit aloof with strangers but incredibly loyal to their families. Training takes time and patience, but it's rewarding when they start to listen. They love the outdoors and have a strong prey drive, so supervision is necessary during walks. If you’re familiar with Japanese breeds, you might appreciate their unique quirks.

Yes, I would recommend a Kishu Ken for the right owner. They are smart and can be quite affectionate with their families.
