The Tosa Inu, or Japanese Mastiff, represents a Japanese fighting dog that can weigh up to 200 pounds and pull significantly heavier loads. Their powerful bodies and jaws can pull up to 3,000 pounds. With proper training, they can become gentle and calm, but their presence alone proves intimidating. The breed faces bans in some countries due to its fighting heritage, though not all dogs are automatically dangerous.
