The Kai Ken is sometimes called the Tiger Dog, thanks to their striped brindle coats. They are known for being loyal and affectionate. They are one of the six native Japanese spitz-type dogs.

It started off in 1881 in Germany with a breeder who was looking to make a different type of hunting dog. He was looking for something that could work well in the water and retrieve (the Poodle), and have a strong pointing instinct as well (the Pointer). This breed made its way to the United States in 1956. It is not currently recognized by the American Kennel Club.
