    Bull/Mastiff/Molosser

    OK so what breeds would fit under each title as it appears that some bull breeds are molossers but not all molossers are bull breeds?

    my bordeaux is a molosser as shes a mastiff,but im not sure if shes a bull breed but i no shes related to the english bull dog.
    i nowot you mean,it is very confusing.
    im not meaning to sound 'breed specif' but with all this oit bull hype id rather trin wasnt classed as a bull breed if she is

    Molosser is a name for a group comprising several breeds of large, solidly-built dogs, probably all descended from the same root stock. The name derives from Molossia, a country once located in Western Greece. Most Bull breeds are considered to be a 'Molosser' the Dogue De Bordeaux is considered to be a 'Bully' breed although it also falls into the 'Mastiff' family of dog breeds. I also own one of these beauties although shes really still only a baby :D

    I used to groom, if you could call it that, a beautilful male Dogue called Mowgli, he died of a heart attack at just 4 years old but he was a credit to his breed, the most gentle large breed of dog I've handled (unlike the St Bernard who slammed me against the bath lol!)

    oh wot a shame,he was only 4!? trin is a gentle giant,she can be abit weary of strangers but if you've got a dog with you she will want to come and say hello.
    we bumped in2 a poodle the other week when walking her in the park with my boys,it was off the lead and i couldnt c the owner,i had trin off the lead and didnt c the poodle,he was micro,trin went up 2this tiny (in comparison) dog b4 i realised he was there and gave the dog a 'kiss',she coated it in slobber,the little lad took quite a shineing to trin.
    then the owner came out of nowhere and appoligised,but i felt i had to say sorry to her as 'pops'(that was his name) had a bath from trin.
    i wish i had my camera,it was so sweat these to dogs so different in everyway but the best of friends after one meating.
    since then we've seen pops afew times and trin loves him.
    wouldnt they make interesting pups!? umm,i dont think,lol

    I was gutted when I found out he'd died, one of the few breeds I'd have if I decided on a big dog again.

    Believe it or not, the term 'Molosser' doesn't just cover 'large, solidly-built dogs'.
    There are 3 different groups of Molosser breeds, which actually includes smaller dogs, such as the pug and French Bulldog, and even Afghan Hounds, Malamutes, Akitas, Beagles, and the very popular Border Collie!

    The 3 classifications are;
    1st Group: Molossers that are bred true to original mountain type, regardless of the age and country of their origin.

    2nd Group: Molossers that are not bred true to mountain type, regardless of the age and country of their origin. These are the Molossers that are a product of both breeding away from the Mountain type and crossing Molosser breeds with non-Molosser breeds, resulting in the various Bull breeds, Hounds, Guardians etc...

    3rd Group: This is the so-called Molossov Coctail category. These breeds are either directly linked to the 1st and 2nd Molosser Group, but bred away from common type, such as the bearded shepherds, or they are considered to be non-Molossers, but have the Molosser blood running through their veins. Again, this is not related to the ages and countries of their origin.
