Ancient molosser and hunting dogs - Mastiff - Ovcharka - Hounds - Alans (2)

Molosser is a type of large, solidly-built dog comprising several breeds, probably all descended from the same root stock. The name derives from Molossia, a subregion of ancient Epirus, ancient Greece, where the large shepherd dog was known as the Molossus.

A hound is a type of dog that assists hunters by tracking or chasing the animal being hunted. It can be contrasted with the gun dog, which assists hunters by identifying the location of prey, and with the retriever, which recovers shot quarry.

Would it be possible to restore some of the Mastiff's of today so they could be used to hunt effectivley such as the Neopoltian, and Dogue de Bordeaux?
