confident pack leader who can keep them in their rightful place,
below all humans in the alpha order. It is a natural instinct for a
dog to have an order in its pack. When we humans live with dogs,
we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates under a
single leader. Lines are clearly defined and rules are set.

than the dog. That is the only way your relationship can be
a complete success. That are allowed to take over may be dog aggressive. Keep the away from other dogs that may want to fight, because this breed will most certainly win. They have a very
high pain tolerance due to their fighting origins.

Tosa Inu Origin
Japanese Dogs has been bred for hundreds of years in Japan.
The country has a long history of dog fighting, beginning in
the 14th century. It was developed between the period of 1868
and 1912 by crosses with the Kochi (a local Japanese breed),
native Shikoku fighting dogs, with Western breeds such as the
German Pointer, Mastiff, Great Dane, Bulldog, St. Bernard and
the Bull Terrier. Tosas were often referred to as the "Sumo
wrestler of the dog world." In Japan, the Tosa is considered
a national treasure. Although dog fighting is now illegal in
Europe, North America, and Japan, secret, illegal pit fights
continue in remote rural regions of Japan, where the Tosa,
at 66-88 pounds (30-40 kg.)—smaller than those bred in the
West—is still used for fighting. The breed excels at Japanese-
style dog fighting. Japanese dog-fighting rules in the last century demanded that dogs fight silently, without cowering, and the
Tosa fought by these rules—relentlessly and silently. The
Tosa is a rare breed, even in its native land and has only
recently been introduced to the USA. Unfortunately, this
breed is banned in some countries as a dangerous breed.
It is definitely unsuitable for beginners, but with the proper socialization, handling and training, it can make a wonderful
family companion. This massive dog excels at weight-pulling
and makes a great watch and guard dog.
