@JJ: My apartment is quite big, I live alone in a 2-bedroom and we have lushing green areas surrounding it. Fortunately, tosas have been well adapted to small buildings for generations, since it is all there is in Japan.

@ Yuantongsi: Thanks for the list, I don't actually live in Kunming but nearby. I've seen over 70% of the breeds enlisted there living here in China, including about 20 Tosas, so far. Where I live there are plenty of parks and forests around so I'm glad I don't live in downtown Kunming.

@Geezer: since you are curious, I will tell you why.
1# I don't like dogs that bark, Tosas are one of the only breeds that does not bark.
2# Being 6'4 and enjoying sports, I'd like to have a dog bigger than a toaster.
3#They have very short hair and don't shed much which is good for my house and allergies.
4# Tosa being aggressive? You seem to have the wrong information there, friend.

I've known this breed for over 13 years and have many friends who have it and know many breeders, including 3 czech Republic breeders, where the dog is very popular.

I never heard of a Tosa attacking a human. When I was living in Nanjing, there was a golden retriever in my building that attacked children and barked at me and displayed antisocial behavior.

One of my friends had a male tosa in the USA that was very peaceful even with other dogs, he was attacked and bitten by a lab while out for a walk with his owner and even got an infected wound due to the bite.
Tosas are know to be aggressive to other dogs but never to humans. If the tosa, just like any other dog, is raised with his litter for at least 10 weeks and given the chance to socialize and learn bite inhibition from his brothers and sisters, it is a dog that is aware of his size and strength.

My father's shi-tzu display highly antisocial behavior of biting people's ankles and constant barking at people. Unlike akitas, pit bulls, chow chows, dobermans and dalmatians, Tosa Kens are not on aggressive dog lists as they have very stable behavior.

I'm going to Japan to visit my GF and on the way back will be bringing a Tosa Ken pup.

Those little fellas can get quite massive at 200 lbs, so I'd like to know what is the normal procedure here. Do I need to register it or what, anyone got a dog here?

By the way I have an agent and the documentation bringing it here is alright; I just need to know about the LOCAL laws.

"I will not try to defend it or explain it"

That's bad PR/
He could at least have shown some sympathy and assure they would take measures to combat this is the future. Hmmm, bad news for junk fooders.

This discussion and the impossibility argument is obsolete. I was in Nanjing at the Zheng He museum, the site where the star fleet was built. They did recently find the rudder of one of the main ships and it is gigantic, it does indeed confirm the reported dimensions of the ship, being several times bigger than chinese caravels of the time. Notice: the vietnamese and other islanders natives from what is today the Philippines were the true pioneers of shipbuilding, from which the chinese learned how to construct their ships.

BTW, I agree with Bobbles and Liumingke; people who have no self-identity (the norm today) and get hold of power (guns) will try to emulate fiction as a way of developing an identity, even if it's a fictional or false one. Just wait until those police officer start acting like movie actors.

Again, to yankee: I read my posts again and couldn't pinpoint anything I said that was racist. Was it because I said that those gym rats have napoleon complexes (compensating for being short)? If so, get real, this is a worldwide phenomena.

Call before you go, I went there on thursday and there was no one in there,

I called one of the owners, and they said that they weren't going to open.

I lost my trip, I love the concept of the restaurant, No MSG and etc, but ended up having to pay for a cab ride and getting a growling stomach.

If the same thing happens to you, just go down the road until the road ends and the last 2 story restaurant across the street is very also decent. Order the sweet and sour fish and it also won't have any MSG.

No Bus to Chenggong from the airport, had to go downtown and get a 150 RMB taxi.

I mean isn't this a district of Kunming? Then why not make transportation available?

thumbs down
