She is pure and papered. Tosas come in black, brindle, Red, fawn, and in Japan even pie bald. The black Tosas are suppose to be more sought after and expensive by the western enthusiasts. It don't matter to me, a Tosa is a Tosa. They don't breed these dogs for looks or color in Japan, just function. That is why the Japanese do not send the real fighters abroad and send more conformationally correct watered down Tosas. There is a tourist spot in japan called the Tosa fighting center in Kochi, they put on exhibition fights with watered down Tosas and the president of the center breeds his dogs for western standards. Even though, a watered down Tosa is still a beast. The "real" Tosas are competed by several organizations in different parts of Japan and they get together for a national tournament. My males pedigree reads generations long of national champs. If you are going to get something in Canada, look for Toshi Tosa Kennels, Email:
toshi@accesswave.ca Patrick James. I think they are expecting pups. These guys supposedly breed for temperament and ability. I use to be friends with the Jap/ American dogman and I know he has the real deal. My female is from Toshi. They don't have a website but here is a link to their webshot page

http://www.tosa-inu.com/ and spend a grip 5k and up. That is where my male is from. I plan to breed nala and Red late next year depending if they have no genetic or temperamental unwaranted human aggression issues.
