Image query

Hi all.

Someone's written to us to ask about the image on Tosa (dog) - they say it looks like a Rhodesian Ridgeback rather than a Tosa. I confess I have absolutely no expertise in the matter - though I can certainly see how it looks like a Ridgeback - but perhaps someone here could check it? Thanks.

It does not look like a ridgeback to me.. it looks just like the numerous tosa images on the internet.. I don't think ridgebacks have that many wrinkles on the face either.. the angle of the photo makes it hard to tell the shape of the face, but i found many images on the net that looked similar to this one. some were more wrinkly that others and the amount of black on the muzzle varied..--Ltshears (talk) 23:21, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I have contacted the original uploader of the image and asked her to post here.. she has contributed many dog images and feel the image is legit. We might as well find out from her to be sure.. Either way, there are more Tosa Inu Images available at the commons that can replace it if necessary http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tosa_inu --Ltshears (talk) 23:36, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
