The National Kishu Ken CLubThe National Kishu Ken Club (NAKC) is a national breed club in the USA devoted to the preservation of the Japanese Kishu dog and upholding the Nihon Ken Hozonkai (NIPPO) standard in the American Kennel Club (AKC).
Our mission is to preserve and promote the diversity present in the breed, to foster community between Kishu owners and enthusiasts, and to bring education to the community outside of the breed in order to maintain Kishu for future generations. |
The National Kishu Ken Club was formed to bring Kishu Ken owners and enthusiasts in the USA together to help promote, preserve, and support the country of origin standard and uphold these honored standards within the American Kennel Club.
As an internationally recognized breed, the Kishu Ken has a handful of written standards from around the world. The Nihon Ken Hozonkai (NIPPO) is the Kishu's primary club and registering body in the country of origin and the first to write a standard for the breed back in 1934. The Kishu is recognized internationally by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) and those clubs that participate. In North America, the Kishu also has a United Kennel Club (UKC) standard. Kishu are, additionally, permitted in the Foundation Stock Service (FSS) - a registration service of the American Kennel Club (AKC) working on their way to recognition.
