Tosa
The Tosa Inu, also known as the Japanese Mastiff, is a breed of dog characterized by its massive size and powerful physique. Developed in Japan for dog fighting, the Tosa is innately watchful and protective of its family, making it a formidable guard dog. Despite its intimidating appearance, a well-adjusted Tosa is calm, laid-back, and deeply loyal to its owners. They are intelligent but can be stubborn, requiring consistent and firm training from an early age. Early socialization is crucial to mitigate potential aggression towards strangers and other animals. With proper care and training, the Tosa can be a gentle and loving companion.
