Quick breed overview

The Tosa was created by gradual crossbreeding of Japanese fighter dogs with Western breeds like the Mastiff, Bulldog, and Great Dane. The Tosa, due to its size, strength, and inherent fighting impulse, is regarded a dog which should only be handled by experienced dog owners. The breed is even banned in some countries, including the UK.
