Dog breed
Tosa Other names Japanese Tosa Origin Japan Dog (domestic dog
The Tosa Inu (土佐犬 Tosa-Ken and Japanese Mastiff ) is a breed of dog of Japanese origin that is considered rare. It was originally bred in Tosa , Shikoku (present-day Kōchi ), as a fighting dog and is the only breed still used (legally) in Japanese dog fighting .[1]
Appearance [ edit ]
The Tosa vary considerably in size, with the Japanese-bred dogs tending to be about half the size of those bred outside the country. The Japanese breed generally weighs between 36 and 61 kilograms (80 and 135 lb ), while non-Japanese breeders have focused on dogs that weigh from 60 to 90 kg (130 to 200 lb ) and stand 62 to 82 cm (24 to 32 in ) at the withers .[1 ] brindle , or fawn, but occasionally it can be a dull black. Maintenance of the coat is usually minimal. Dogs can occasionally tip the scale at 91 kilograms (200 lb ). In Japan, they are considered the equivalent of Sumo wrestlers and are even depicted in wrestling accoutrements .[citation needed
History [ edit ]

This breed originated in the second half of the 19th century. The breed started with the native Shikoku-Inu (an indigenous dog weighing about 25 kilograms (45 pounds) and standing about 55 centimetres high). These dogs were crossed with European dog breeds, such as the Old English Bulldog in 1872, the English Mastiff in 1874, the Saint Bernard and German Pointer in 1876, the Great Dane in 1924, and the Bull Terrier .[2 ] [2] [3]
In South Korea, it is one of the main dog meat breeds, along with Nureongi dogs.[4]
Legal matters [ edit ]
