At four years old and around 100 lbs, Kai brings mellow, easygoing energy wherever he goes. He strikes a balance of curiosity and playfulness, content to lounge quietly nearby but always eager for daily walks. Kai is deeply loyal, forming strong bonds with those he trusts, and he prefers a peaceful home environment without a lot of chaos. Despite his size, Wang Kai isn’t high energy. He thrives best in calm, low-conflict surroundings and would do well with older children or someone experienced with shepherd-type dogs who can appreciate his thoughtful nature. Apartment living suits him for stretches of up to six hours, provided he gets out for several walks each day. Kai is intelligent and eager to please, though continued leash training is needed—he’s got a high prey drive for squirrels and isn’t particularly motivated by food. He’s currently on a raw diet. Kai is neutered and up to date on vaccines. He doesn’t need a bustling home, just a patient, kind person who understands what a steady, loyal companion really means.
