Should I be very worried about this possibly happening once they live totgether...

Well, that's because we have experience where you have none.

There is little that is more potentially dangerous than neophyte owners of big, powerful dogs.

Your Tosa owning friend is a newbie to his breed, just like you are to yours. No Tosa savvy owner would ask a friend--regardless of how long they've been friends to simply mind his or her Tosa w/o making sure the Tosa and Rottie would be securely separated from each other.

You are so very welcome! I hope you suggested to the Tosa's owner that he talk to the breeder of his dog about caring for the dog while he's gone--something I encouraged you to do.

As a general observation, you are one of the legion of newbie posters who get nasty when advice they receive clearly isn't what they wanted to hear.

Why bother to come here if you already have made up your mind?
