Description and comments on Molossian characteristics (Part 1)

A breed is easily distinguished from others due to shared characteristics. This is where the following point is raised: “How many characteristics do all Molossian breeds in our country have in common nowadays?”

Silvan, Old Serbian Wolfhound, Sooty, Dragon… myth or reality?

We can say both. Everyone who knows something about those dogs must to have big knowledge on Serbian history. But, not only on history, but also on old myths and tales of our ancestors that were passed on from father to son for centuries till our days.

Descriptions and comments on Molossian characteristics (2nd part)

Today in Greece anyone can express his/her opinion freely for the Molossian dogs. We live in the country where Democracy was born and it is fair for every opinion to be expressed openly. The problem is if we can substantiate our opinions with proofs and documents and of course the sources of the opinions that we express.

The regeneration of the first ancestor

The opportunity for this article was the publication of a magazine for dog-lovers signed from a critic recognized by the Kennel Club of Greece. Perhaps the Kennel Club should bring him into his senses.

Molossos
Sometimes “superficial knowledge is worse than ignorance” and some people should “rinse their mouth with potash” before uttering groundless theories about the legend of Epirus.

Thoughts about molossus

My dear friend,
Your effort to save the Molossos of Epirus is wonderful. You are a pioneer. It must cost a lot in terms of money and effort. I hope in the following years we will see results and maybe a well recognized Greek breed with ancient origin.

Please allow me to make some suggestions and comments that come out of genuinely good intentions. In order to get to the point I will have to start with a parallelism:

Breeding Practices

However my experience as a dog owner of a Greek Shepherd Dog, not Molossus of Epirus, it’s not at all pleasant. I found my dog from a shepherd in my region (Epirus) in an effort to help with my little power to the preservation of that Greek dog breed. As a result of this choice I live eight years now with a problematic dog, with poor coat, and many behavioral problems. A dog that is fearfull, and as a result aggressive, noise sensitive and as a result unable for guarding.

Why Incest Isn’t Best

http://www.dogstuff.info/incest_sharp.html

Incest, the marriage of close relatives, is forbidden on moral and legal grounds in most human societies. But the prohibitions also make biological sense. Inbred individuals tend to suffer from inbreeding depression. Among humans, the ancient Egyptian pharaohs and the more recent Hawaiian and European royal families provide the better known human examples. Inbreeding depression has not been studied much in dogs but it is well researched in other species.
