Latin

I always thought that 'molosser' was a corruption of the Latin word for mastiff, 'molossus.' Anyone care to enlighten me?

Sorry, the above was me. I haven't got the hang of the tilde thing. Mythicaldog 14:23, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The name comes from the Greek word Molossos ( Μολοσσός), which translates in Latin as Molossus ( with the typical changing of -os into -us. You can check out the wiki-article about the Molosssoi here.

Photo

An entlebucher showing the typical molosser build???Are we going mad???Choice any molosser but not an entlebucher please!!!The entlebucher...oh god...— Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.54.149.219 (talk • contribs)

I'm not sure what's wrong with using the Entlebucher photo, but I'm fine with changing it or adding more photos. Would a Dogue de Bordeaux (image here) or a Bullmastiff (image here) be more to your liking? --Pharaoh Hound (talk) (The Game) 13:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Boston Terrier

I just did a small edit, deleted the text next to Boston Terrier. It was completely incorrect, Bostons are not actual terriers, and are not included in that group by the AKC. 72.14.125.25 04:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
