Puppy InformationLitter infoBreeding plans are in progress, pups should be ready to go around October 24th. I did some travelling to find a different stud for Kirin, get some new genes in there, but I've decided to do a repeat breeding with Taro. Pups from their last litter have great temperaments, are very athletic, have good size and conformation, and best of all they're very healthy. I'm extremely happy with this pairing. Pups are raised inside the house, and they are provided with the utmost in care and attention.Last litter was born June 24th, 2009. There were 6 females and 5 males. Puppy pics Pups are sold with contracts to help ensure the welfare of the dog, to warranty for debilitating or lethal genetic defects, and to discourage indiscriminate/backyard breeding. I have had my dogs checked by the vet to see that they in good health, and I feel my dogs are good representatives of the breed. Although I have done health screening, this is NOT a guarantee that every pup will be 100% healthy. This is not merchandise I'm selling. I have been a part of these pup's lives since the second they were born, naturally I will grow attached. I care about each and every pup, and I need people who are willing to give me photos and updates as requested. This is not just for sentimental reasons, but also to track the development, health and structure of the pups. Therefore I need puppy parents who are competent with email and sending photos. Pups are $2500, and I ask for deposits of $500. All who are interested in purchasing a pup will be put on a waiting list. When pups are born, I will accept deposits then, after I know number of pups and genders. Deposits are to show that you are truly interested in a pup. If not received within a reasonable amount of time, pup will be made available again. Tosas and other giant breed dogs should be fixed between ages 12 to 18 months. Any earlier, and the development of the pups may be altered. What often happens if done too early, is the dogs (especially males) will grow tall and too skinny, and their heads won't broaden. Also, they MAY be more prone to ACL and other tendon problems, cancers, hypothyroidism and others. Please make sure you are allowed to keep a Tosa where you live. Also be aware that some insurance companies will not insure you if they know you have a Tosa. **I've had a few inquiries from people wanting to start up breeding Tosas. First of all, Tosa is not a popular breed, they never can be. It is not that easy to place puppies. Breeding Tosas is not a money wagon, you're lucky if you break even. I've seen pups as cheap as $500 and still can't be sold. Breeders are sometimes stuck with pups until they're 6 months old, and in one case breeder has a couple 2 year old dogs and still can't find homes for them. Buying dogs from me for breeding purposes will have to be under my terms and standards, and that's IF I will sell a dog for that purpose. And for those who have never even met a Tosa, and already thinking about breeding them.....don't even bother to contact me!** |
