Oh, really 3? Maybe you should read your own post again - I've bolded the only questions I found.....could you point out the one asking for tips on the material and design of a sturdy kennel?
And, golly gee.....if all you wanted were plans for a kennel, why the need for a cookie tossing experiment between the dogs?

Question - the Tosa (near 180lb) is huge, a lot bigger than my Rott (100 lb) and all muscle and I have no doubt that he'd tear him apart if it ever came to a fight (no way I'd step in if that ever happened, I ain't suicidal). Should I be very worried about this possibly happening once they live totgether or will they likely get along without much fuss they way they have been?
How do Rotts, be they professionally trained in SchH etc or just couchy house dogs, generally behave around dogs that are physically superior to them?
Like I said, this is only for 6 months while my friend is going overseas for work.
I guess in Korea they're used as 'fighting' dogs, but it seems the fights are more ritual pushing/wrestling matches than bloody tear ups, which I think is somewhat acceptable...different cultures have different traditions after all. |
