Unlike other high prey-driven dogs that bark at prey, the Kishu Ken would stalk prey. The bread is native to Japan and is majorly used for hunting deer and boar. The dog is relatively quiet and usually affectionate to known family members. As a medium-sized dog, it is active and easy-going, with the standard coat color being sesame white, red, black, and tan. The nose is black, while the coat is short, with a thick undercoat as the cheeks and tail show fringe. It has smaller ears that are pricked while the tail is curled over its back. The Kishu Ken has a high prey drive and may not live well with small pets.
