Weighing in at up to 200 pounds, this Sumo wrestler of a dog once was the prize fighter in Japans dog pits, though now he is an esteemed guard dog and protector of home, family and property. Proverbial in his loyalty and fearlessness, the Japanese Tosa requires an experienced owner who understands the breeds unique temperament and who is able to contend with the dogs tremendous strength and determination.

Illustrated with over 135 photographs of handsome Tosas from around the world, this colorful and comprehensive volume discusses breed history, characteristics and standard as well as health care, obedience training, puppy selection and housebreaking. For every lover of this unique rare breed, this book promises to be an invaluable, vital resource, covering all the information needed to properly raise and train a Japanese Tosa.

Great book, and teaches you everything about Tosas January 22, 2009
Shane A. Bockman
This book is written by two of the best Tosa breeders in the U.S. It's thorough and extremely detailed. Tosas are a rare breed and there is not that much solid information about their breed readily available, let alone on paper for people to buy.
 Not what I expected....useful information. October 28, 2008
A. Delpasen (San Jose, CA)
It has some very useful information I just think the book is dated and needs to be updated.
