Dog Day Event to interact with Kishu Dog at Wakayama Castle November 1 15:39
November 1st is the day for dogs because of three dog calls. At Wakayama Castle in Wakayama City, an event was held to interact with Kishu dogs, which are designated as national natural monuments.
This event was the first time that Wakayama City was held to coincide with “Inu no O Day” so that many people would know about Kishu Dog.
Kishu dogs are medium-sized dogs that have been bred for hunting in Wakayama and Mie prefectures for a long time. They are often used as guard dogs and are designated as national natural monuments.
Kishu dog sisters “Yuzuki” and “Yuzume” bred at the zoo of Wakayama Castle Park participated in the event, and their heads were stroked by tourists and children who went on excursions, and a commemorative photo taken together I was doing.
A third-year elementary school girl who went on an excursion from Kishiwada City, Osaka, said, “Kishu dogs were cute and white and fluffy.
At the zoo of Wakayama Castle Park, we hold events to interact with Kishu dog sisters three times a day on weekdays and twice a day on weekends and holidays.
