The size standard in the KKA is smaller than NIPPO's, and for KKA, all that matters is that some brindle is visible on the body (in some dogs it's very hard to tell). NIPPO prefers more brindle. To show a medium or red brindle Kai in the KKA is difficult because the brindling has to be correct in hue and pattern.<br />Standards were discussed at length on the Nihon Ken Forum http://www.nihonken.org/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/8361/kai-ken-registration-agencies/p1 It's a good read.Katohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300152062353477753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734462636905794264.post-67193403020739764552013-10-24T15:31:50.570+09:002013-10-24T15:31:50.570+09:00This is off topic for this particular blog but I ...This is off topic for this particular blog but I was wondering out of curiosity why the Kai Ken Aigokai has a particular preference for small black Kais ( even those that look to be smaller than Shiba and have no brindles at all) and seems to dislike red or lightly coloured Kais while the Nihon Ken Hozonkai, when I spoke with a few people there, seems to accept all types of Kai and emphasize that Kais should have brindles. <br /><br />Is this due to differing definition of what a Kai is supposed to look like or is there no real definition or description of what a Kai is supposed to look like or acceptable in exhibitions? merlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243618766276615719noreply@blogger.com
