Dog breeds that are off-putting and not suitable for keeping at home

Tosa Inu

Another Tosa Inu, this breed is extremely rare and expensive, also originating from Japanese fighting dog traditions.

While they’re high-maintenance, their history as fighting dogs has led to a “dangerous breed” label, resulting in bans in several countries. If you’re considering welcoming one into your home, especially as a family pet, think very carefully—this breed isn’t a good fit for every family.
