Benigna Hokori OTKC "Bonsai" is love incarnate. 8 years and getting that typical sweet senior face, but full of joy and happiness like she has been every day of her life. Please stay with me forever, my dearest, my child, my soul.

Ok folks! We’ll be introducing you all to the pups tomorrow, however, today we are going to take the time to express our gratitude.
First, we thank God for where we are in life and the way He has worked things together for us to be in the position we are in. He has been Faithful in all things. Thank You, Lord for this fruitful season and wonderful puppies. You are Faithful.
Second, I want to personally take the time to thank my wife. She never grew up thinking she would be a dog person, she never had large dogs, and yet here we are. None of this would be possible without her. We continually come up to points which are outside of her comfort zone and the adjustments and changes we have had to make in the last few years have been wild. Yet, this beautiful, Lion-hearted, woman has been there every step of the way. There is no one I would rather be building with. I love you, sweet woman. Thank you.
Third, I want to thank my parents. I wouldn’t know about animals at all if it weren’t for catching my dad’s passion and my mom’s compassion. I would never have gotten my first Tosa back in highschool if it weren’t for them giving me the chance to show a dog is what you make of it. To this day, we wouldn’t have gotten to where we are if it wasn’t for their help. Dante got to the USA on my father’s birthday and my dad let me step away from his party to run across town and get a dog from IAH then house it at their home until we were ready to leave. Thank you for being patient with that headstrong kid who kept keeping you awake all night to debate animal psychology. Thank you for everything.
________________________________________________
Next, I want to thank some companies and staff.
First, I want to thank South Bosque Veterinary clinic for general care and late birth assistance. Above all, Dr. Sharpe is the best Veterinary Professional I have met in my entire career. If you’re in the Waco area, it doesn’t get better than Dr. Sharpe. Thank you.
Next, I want to thank the Waco Animal Emergency Hospital. Their care and assistance during the mid to late delivery process was indispensable. It does not get better than Dr. Sharpe, but the staff and Vet I worked with that night I would consider on par. You all have our highest respect and deepest gratitude. Thank you.
We prefer natural conception and let the dogs try themselves freely, however, 512 Pet Supply South, 254 Pet Supply provided some of our PG testing, and performed AI for us so we could be sure we got this litter on the way. It is an awesome and affordable service that has produced excellent results. Thank you guys.
We want to thank the members of the Tosa Inu Club of America. We are so honored to know and work with each of you. Thank you for joining us as we work to restore and establish this truly wonderful breed.
Mac Town Bullyz, I have about ten things I can be thanking you guys for, but I don’t want this to take all day. Thank you for allowing us to crash your dog show and for the referrals to the people at 512 and 254 Pet Supply Stores. Thank you for your advice on Kikyo’s estrus management. Thank you.
_______________________________________________________________
Back to personal thank you’s
I want to thank Ms. Aubrey for assisting us with pet sitting just after the dogs got out to the property. It might not have seemed like much at the time, but the last time you pet sat was the last time we took a vacation. Thank you so much for your help, though I know the pups terrified you, lol! God bless you and your family and thank you.
Getting to the last few people and I have saved you guys to the end because I’m going to embarrass you, lol!
Dealing with the Sire first, Mrs. Monique and Mr. Martin, thank you for trusting us with Dante. He has been a huge light in our lives and we are honored that you have given us the opportunity have him help us in restoring the breed here in the Americas. I’d like to take an extra few sentences to further thank Mrs. Monique. Thank you for being available to answer our random questions and give advice on some of the finer points of natal care. Your help has been indispensable. On that note…
Now dealing with the Dam, Mrs. Erika and Mr. Kasa, thank you for trusting us with Kikyo. She has been an exceptional example of a Tosa female and is loved by all who know her. As with Dante, we are honored that you have given us the opportunity have her help us in restoring the breed here in the Americas. The same as above, I’d like to take an extra few sentences to further thank Mrs. Erika. Thank you for being available to answer our random questions and give advice on some of the finer points of natal care. Your help has been indispensable.
I have saved Erika and Monique for last because I want to point out that they are Tosa Inu breeders. We are a kennel that has been breeding Tosas for nearly twenty years… and we still had questions and things we hadn’t seen before. I think the most wonderful part of this entire process has been the opportunity to rely on people like you two ladies and see the quality of not just your knowledge but also your character as you came alongside us to help see this goes well. Our breed needs people like you more than anything else and I am so glad and encouraged that they have you. We are certainly not finished and there is another litter on the way next month (oops! I guess I let out the secret, lol) so expect us to bother you a little more and send you bunches of puppy pictures as if you don’t already have puppies you can look at if you want to see some, hahahaha! Seriously though, I cannot thank you both enough on so many levels and I look forward to what the future for the breed. Thank you for sharing hope. We are stronger together and better for it. God bless you and your families and God Bless the Tosa.
❤❤❤❤

The inseperable couple Kochi's Kichijoten 'Saga' (17 months) & Genjiro Agaeru OTKC 'Oscar' (4 years old). Sun & sand bathing like they do best.

Igor Bosatsu OTKC "Butch" being his sweet self. 3 years and still developing.

How do you spend your evening? Here's how I watch TV. 😄

Life is hard

17/08/2023

Geisha is so happy with her new life full of daily adventures. She makes friends with dogs, neighborhood cats and even chickens! But swimming and sunbathing might just be her favorite ❤️

14/08/2023

There is no happier house hippo than our Genjiro Agaeru of the Kochi Castle "Oscar". This time a butterfly caused the happy hops. 3 years.

13/08/2023

Our ever-growing goodboi, Igor Bosatsu of the Kochi Castle "Butch" loves his Sunday mornings on the training field. 2 years old.

11/08/2023

Fantastic old Nelson (12), coming to me to file a complaint about how she finally has sunshine to bathe in, but it is too hot to be comfortable. She requires me to provide solutions, and what else can I do but serve the queen?

19/03/2023

The male-sized and spirited Kannon (pink collar - left) and the funny and feisty Sukuna (red collar - right). They are 7 weeks old.

Yes, she has a normal tail 😃 but wagged so hard it disappeared on the picture.

Enjoy watching the free dwellers and their mom roaming the living room.

13/03/2023

When the 6 week old puppies from the Lemmens litter wake up, they know pe**ee time is on the grass, not inside the house and not even on the patio! Watch and enjoy.

04/03/2023

No need to thank us - here's your weekend vitamins! 🥰😍🤗

03/03/2023

We are four weeks old, enjoy raw meat like the big dogs do, got another enlargement of our puppypen and start to explore the living room and strange new people, too! We're so adventurous that after a little initial help from our prime human, we can even take that huge bridge to that new world all by ourselves! And ofcourse, plenty of zzz's to process all of our progress! 🤯😎

Mommy Inari said she didn't have enough space, so the whelping box is replaced for a bigger room. It's also the start of toilet training. With a full belly, a soft bed, a heater and classical music playing in the background, the puppies couldn't care less!

16/02/2023

At two weeks of age, where they are more than doubled in weight, it is still mostly peaceful sleeping that keeps the pups occupied in between milk breakfast, milk lunch and milk dinner. ❤️

05/02/2023

🍼 Saturday nights & Sunday mornings 😴

04/02/2023

Flashback to the birth - in the night of January 24 - which was miraculous. Inari put all her trust in us to guide her through it, and she learned very fast as to how to do the easiest whelping and how to move around the tiny newborns flawlessly, which is not as simple as it seems.
Never have I seen a bitch give birth for the first time with so much peace, calm, composure and confidence. And with no pups lost, a fellow support dog that witnessed the whole thing (Yellow, the Dogo mix) and a mom wrapping it up without complications, this truly is a dream come true. So far, so good!

03/02/2023

It's always a special feeling when you file for official birth registration at the Kennel Club. 😊💜🐾

31/01/2023

We know for a fact that you have never seen more beautiful one-week-old Tosa puppies than this lot! My lord, we simply can't stop staring! 😍 The best news? A few pups are still available for the best homes. Please inquire through email ([email protected]) or WhatsApp (+31654350628).

28/01/2023

January 24, 2023 - They're here! We were the witnesses of an incredibly peaceful birth which resulted in 9 beautiful and strong pups in a mere 5 hours. Never before have we seen a dog give birth with so much confidence, calm, composure and communication. Inari you are amazing, just like your pups!

Some puppies are still available, contact us for more information.
