	Tosa Inu breed information
		The Tosa is the original “tournament-dog” (used in fighting competitions) of Japan, created by the Japanese at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century at the island Shikoku, in the place Kochi in the Tosa-district.
		The ideal in breeding Tosa’s should be to breed a uniform type of dog: a Tosa doesn’t need to be a copy of the Mastiff but the type of a Ridgeback is also not preffered.
		Tosa’s usually don’t excel in the typical working-breed activities but there are records of Tosa’s that achieved good results in obedience and tracking.

		Een Tosa doet dit beheerst en rustig, maar zeer beslist; het zijn geen zenuwachtige blaffers.
		Een Tosa blaft zeer weinig; dit ligt in het feit, dat één van de regels van het Japanse hondentoernooi is, dat de honden hun competities in stilte moeten volbrengen.
		Samenvattend: de Tosa is zeker geen hond voor iedereen, maar de baas die hem op waarde weet te schatten, en in zijn waarde laat, heeft aan de Tosa-Inu een fantastische hond.

	Tosa Inu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		De Tosa, soms aangeduid als de Japanse Vechthond, of in Japan als Tosa Inu of Tosa Token, is een ras dat weinig bekend is buiten de landsgrenzen van Japan en zelfs in Japan zelf is het ras tamelijk zeldzaam.
		De Tosa is een mens-gerichte hond die liever vriend dan vijand is. De hond hecht zich bijzonder aan de eigen familie, zonder uitzondering tussen kinderen en volwassenen en zal goed omgaan met bezoekers, al is de hond, vooral in het begin, altijd eerst even wantrouwig tegen vreemden.
		De eigenaar van een Tosa behoeft zijn of haar hond het waken en verdedigen ook absoluut niet aan te leren, dit is een eigenschap die de hond vanaf ongeveer 6 a 7 maanden reeds ten toon gaat spreiden.
