Tosa Ken Puppies For Sale

Tosa Kens are not for the faint of heart. As a blend of Mastiff, Great Dane, Shikoku, and Bulldog, these giant dogs are known to be aggressive and territorial. They make wonderful guard dogs, but they need a strong and patient owner to keep them in line. Full-grown, they typically weigh 100-200 pounds and stand 21-24 inches tall.

Tosa Kens are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Although they seem big and tough, they actually prefer to live inside with the family. Tosas can get along with children if they’re raised together, but they’re not the best breed for families. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.

For being such a large breed, the Tosa Ken doesn’t have as much energy as you would expect. They enjoy a daily walk or run and make great jogging companions, but 30 minutes to an hour is plenty to keep them happy and fit. Be sure to keep them on a leash or confined, though, as they may lunge at other dogs they see along the way. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.

Tosas have short fur that comes in a variety of colors, including red, apricot, fawn, black, brindle, and tan. They’re very easy to groom, although it may take some time because of their size. Brush these pups once a week, and give them a bath every few months to keep their coat looking its best. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Tosa Kens are best suited for a rural property or home with a large yard. Because of their large stature, Tosa Kens are best suited for homes that have a yard and a high, solid fence. Although they seem big and tough, they actually prefer to live inside with the family. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
