Meet the breeder
I'm Brittany W., the breeder behind Ourou Sou located in San Diego, CA. We focus on breeding healthy, high-quality Kishu Ken puppies. We enjoy showing our dogs and care deeply about this breed. We are very passionate about dogs and responsible breeding practices. We hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better & safer world for our dogs.
Q. & A. with Brittany
Why did you start breeding?
I initially didn't get into Kishu to breed, but I fell so in love with the breed that it felt beneficial considering the few amount of breeders within the US. I want to see this breed continue to be around in 25-50 years, and they need help to do so! My male's breeder has been a wonderful asset and mentor to help me get started right.What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special because I want to produce balanced individuals that can thrive as a pet, a hunting dog, and as a show and sport dog! Temperament and health is a priority to me, which will always come before type and color. While I do have a preference for sesame Kishu, I would never not include a white or red dog simply due to their color.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and sesame. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Litter and program updates
Brittany W.
Program update on 28 Feb •…At this time, I highly recommend anyone interested in Kishu Ken to reach out to another Kishu Ken breeder within the US. Akiyama no Roushya, Akagawa Roushya and Kiseki no Yama are a few I can recommend. My program is quite small, with just one female and one male Kishu Ken. Thus far we have had 3 failed breeding attempts, with the latest failed attempt being confirmed to not have resulted in a pregnancy on Thursday. I will likely be skipping my females next heat cycle as I need a break both emotionally and financially. Breeding is not easy, nor is it cheap when done correctly and ethically. I apologize to anyone who may have been excited about a puppy from me, but I am at least a year out from attempting a breeding again, and closer to 1.5 years before a puppy would even be ready to go home. -Brittany

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Dentition
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
