If Molossus is an extinct dog breed how come this actual one a subcat of something which is extinct? E4024 (talk) 03:46, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Second question: How come it has no other cats? Do people have to find the cat of an actual (living) dog breed through an extinct breed? This is not "good categorization". Some people may know more about dogs, but here there are also people who know cats (not the enemy of dogs). --E4024 (talk) 03:49, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hello E4024, there is no living dog breed called the "Molosser", I am unsure where you got that impression. As is described at w:Molossus (dog)#Modern kennel club classification, the terms "molosser" or "molossoid" are used by some kennel clubs to group the very much distinct (and unrelated by domestic dog standards) livestock guardian breeds and mastiff breeds. The term is derived from the Molossus, although there is no actual evidence connecting these dogs to those dogs of the ancient Molossians, hence the categorisation.

Delete, upon reflection it serves no great purpose, it only confuses. Cavalryman (talk) 08:50, 31 March 2021 (UTC).
