The Kishu (紀州犬, Kishū-Ken), sometimes called Kishu Inu or Kishu dog, is a Japanese breed of dog. It is descended from ancient medium-sized breeds and named after the Kishu region, now Mie Prefecture and Wakayama Prefecture. It was designated a living national monument of Japan in 1934.[1] Kishu have been prized since prehistoric times for boar and deer hunting.[1][2] Like the Shiba, they are often quiet. Kishu will stalk prey quietly rather than bark.[1] They are the most commonly used purebred native Japanese breed used for hunting boar to this day.
