Molosser

Molosser er en gruppe af solidt byggede, store hunderacer, der alle nedstammer fra den samme fælles forfader. Navnet stammer fra Molossia,^[1]et område i det gamle Epirus,^[2] hvor den store hyrdehund var kendt som en Molossus.^[3]

Molosser har typisk kraftige knogler, hængeører, en relativt kort og godt muskuløs hals, og en kort snude.
