  • @wrylybrindle.....I have two Tosa dogs. My male was the first of the breed in the world.with à work title. My female has even more werking titles. The pictures I posted on this board have never been on the internet, same goes for the history story.…
  • Personally, I posted the Tosa history because I did research in this breed. Just to give people the right info. That's all. This is a board for the original Japanese breeds. But the Tosa has more history as 4 of the original Japanese breeds. This is…
  • @Kimi_Forever do good research, there are only a few good breeders in the world. A Tosa isn't a health free superdog. The breed needs a lot of exercise, good food and good training. And don't look at the websites that gives you only good …
    in Tosa Comment by kimputai May 2014
  • @brad....a standard for a dog is given by the country of origin, the JKC. The standard has only been changed 3 times. From fighting dog in the 70-80 s, later on it became watchdog and now just housepet. In my opinion, the Tosa breed never got a fair…
  • You see a lot of black and tan Tosa s, even tri color in Europe. According to the FCI standard it is not a Tosa.
  • @ayk.........the mixings in the past made the Tosa as the breed we know now in the West. And by that look, it became really popular in the West. Adding different blood of other breeds will lead to a different look in the end. So, if that is the case…
  • @brad....the first standard from the JKC to the FCI, the Tosa was named a fighting dog. If the goal is to create the ultimate fighting dog, the Tosa already would be mixed with other breed, like Boerboel, Dogo or Kangal.......The pitbull, like ayk m…
  • @AYK I know a few things about the history of the breed. Mill s Buster was a famous pitbull in Japan.......The Tosa already has a standard, and different colours are not so unknown in Japan. It looks weird to us in the West, because we have a stand…
  • The only thing that hasn t stopped evolving, is the huge number of weak dogs and the huge amount of diseases a dog has to suffer from nowadays.
  • @theWalrus EVERY breed HAD a function. Now breeds still get the same function just by looking as the standard. Most breeds stopped evolving a long time ago.
  • @toshi.............I will look it up this week, I have some serious health problems with one of my dogs that need my attention.
  • Even the JKC doesn t see the Tosa as a pure bred Japanese dog,on the other side the breed is respected in Japan as fighting dog. The JKC gave the breed a standard as a guard and watch dog when it became popular in the West. Dogfighting in the West …
  • @hinata..........We know of the Tosa. But it's not a native Japanese breed like the other 6. It's a western breed brought over and mixed with some NK. Do share that experience please. The foundation dog of the Tosa is the Shikoku. The development …
  • @crimson.........that Japanese dogs are more than the Akita and Shiba. If you know the Tosa, you certainly would respect the breed. Tosa in Japan is not as big as in the West. Most lightweights are 35-45 kilo, so smaller as an Akita. Some call the …
  • @Grajj thanks for the offer, but we are already working on the website. @Brad she looks fine, but a Tosa isn t any type of molosser........they are much better....LOL
  • oh well, i am no expert...........but a Tosa, that has a bit of drive, will never take a step back, no matter how big the oponent is........have fun, Brad! The dogo in the video, it s a male or a female? My eyes are getting worse,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,old a…
  • LOL in a few months she will push the Kangal across the yard.....
  • nice dog..........she is getting along with the other dogs?
  • Thanks Brad, how is your Tosa doing?
  • Doesn't have to be Border Collie crazy or anything, but a dog that likes being out a lot. At the same time, one who can completely relax at home and isn't always looking for something to do. A dog that isn't offended easily, and recovers well. Frien…
  • not every dog is the same.............
  • (Image)
  • awesome...thanks for all the help.
  • Calendula. I use it for the elbows of my dogs. Those spots on the elbows can burst open, when they get to dry and it will take a long time to heal.. :I also use it for the foot sole of the dogs, especially when they have to train and run a few miles…
  • That is all? I thought you were upset because you had to remove all the labels again.......:)
  • @shibamistress alarm barking? The dog you do not hear barking, but hear them breathing and growling when they are really close to you, those are the ones that you have to start running and hope you are faster than the dog that chases you....LOL
  • Interesting topic. Question.......... If a Japanese Akita ever should be considered as an excellent guard or watchdog, why the Japanese did not use the breed as a policedog or in the military? Other breeds are far more suitable for that task, like G…
