We decided to give it a test. I got a big dog cookie and threw mid-line between the two. Rott sloooowly gets up, starts slowly shuffling toward the cookie. Tosa suddenly jumps up and runs toward Rott/cookie. Tosa plows into Rott just as Rott arrives, knocking him on his ass and devours cookie.
Rott starts his "You just made a big mistake, dude" bark, Tosa ignores but stands his ground. Rott slaps Tosa with his paw, Tosa jumps on him and pins him. No teeth involved at any point, but lots of scary growling.
After 30 secs they're both panting and flop down, this time near each other.
30 Min later threw another treat near the middle and this time the Rott got it cuz I guess he's figured out he better get there fast. Tosa realizes cookie gone and flops back down.
All in all both dogs were together 5 hours off leash, 2 hours of which were more or less unsupervised when my friend and I went inside to watch a game.
Not worried anymore, the Tosa's just as chill as the Rott and I'll build the outside enclosure with high tensile materials for unsupervised times.
It was actually quite interesting to watch the Tosa's technique, almost like a human wrestler. Rott never had a chance. Thinking about maybe getting one of these (female of course...would make for mad cool puppies...I guess' they'd be 'Rosas', lol...nah, too wimpy) |
You are both such idiots that words almost fail me. As you've already seen from other responses to this, your little "test" has NO validity compared to six months together in the same house. "Not worried any more"? You may be the biggest fool on this site, followed close behind by your so-called friend. We are not overhumanizing ANYTHING. We are expecting them to act like DOGS. And the odds here, long term, are not very good.
Your cavalier attitude toward your dog expressed in your more recent posts speaks volumes. I see you are IN Korea, don't know if you are Korean and part of this issue is a cultural one.
I don't know why you came here for advice you weren't willing to take. If you spent any time here at all first, you'd know that we take our responsibility toward our dogs (who depend on us to take care of them and keep THEM safe) very seriously. Maybe you just came here to start your own little fight.
And now you're thinking of getting a female and having some "mad cool" mutt puppies. I could hope you're a troll, but I'm pretty sure you are not.
We're on your dog's side here.... keeping him safe from your bad judgment and from your "friend's" dog. Hope your dog survives your "friendship".
