One of the six indigenous Spitz-like dogs of Japan, the Kishu is descended from wolves and surrounded by folklore. They were bred to hunt large and aggressive wild game. This gives them a bold and fearless nature, but the medium breed is also a devoted and loving family pet. They do require extensive exercise and do not thrive in confined spaces.
