# Black Tosa Inu

I have to admit, I didn't know Black Tosa Inu existed:

I think it's interesting they have the white on their chest - you think that is from the Shikoku-Ken bloodlines from when they created the breed?

I had no idea they existed either.  The white spot could be from any number of breeds that were bred into those dogs in it's lineage.  I believe they have some great dane in them dont' they?

I think so, but I really don't know - I am not really well educated on the Tosa. The black is very cool looking dog tho!

Yeah it is. I'd go so far as to say its a badass looking dog. Not sure I'd ever own one, but I do think they're cool.

The Tosa Inu is a special dog phisically.

Black color for Tosa is rare but not the favorite color for japanese breeders.

Their favorite color is red, very red like this:

This is another black Tosa Inu:
