The Kishu Ken has its first ever online pedigree database! Created by the awesome Nikola at Damukara Kishu. If you are a Kishu owner and know your pedigree, this database is a good way to keep track of relatedness, notes on individuals, and look at possible test matings through their system.

I've started entering my dogs on the information I have, but once I have all their paperwork, I will be able to add ancestors. This is good for future efforts to import unrelated individuals, as the Kishu community outside of Japan grows!

Fionna (Sagami no Roushya Kaneko go) had some fun at Sauvie Island. Watching her run is something else. She is always busy - always in motion... and always hunting. There's something very powerful in watching her move and explore.
