So as a few of you know I had a post up questioning the possible Mastiff Breed in my Rott/Mastiff. Many different breeds were thrown out some including DDB, Lab or a cross of mastiff and lab. There was one breed that was said that stuck in my mind and I have been researching everything about the breed since. This was non other than the Tosa Inu!
I showed a picture of the Tosa to my boyfriend and his jaw dropped as it looks incredibly similair to our Barron. Since then he has also been doing research into the breed.
Fast forward to last night while walking our 2 boys. "How long do you think Duke has with us?" Me being a little suprised as he is only 8 years old(guesstemate from vet). said "oh I am sure we have another at least 5 years if nothing unfortunate happens...why?". Now Matt being very into Labs (Duke is a Lab and his first real dog) just shrugs a little and says " I would like our next dog to be a Tosa."
My eyes nearly bugged out of my head and my jaw fell open. This was uttered by a guy that always said we would get another Lab, That Barron is as big of a Dog as he would ever think of getting and a guy that would never "Pay" a substantial amount to get a dog.
I being sensable said all these things back to him and all he could simply say was "opinions and events change a person. If it is something that we want and know we can handle than we will save and I will have no reservations on doing it with the proper research and Breeder".
Now like I said we are FAR from getting a Tosa(we are a 2 dogs maximum house) but just that there is a possiblilty of owning one has me so excited!
