I agree with bros happybuddah, it is strange that when I read about tosakin, the description says ryukin body..... However, when I see pics of champion tosakin, they DON'T have ryukin body. Small hump, more egg shape, large,but pointy head, eyes set far back.
Maybe tosakin started off with more classic ryukin body, but got more stylized as the breeding program progressed. I love tosakin. I like to watch mine swim. They are terrible swimmers, but cute waddle motion. AND what I like the most is that they are very, very friendly. They let me pet them and stick their heads out of the water when I walk by. (of course begging for food) |
