[quote="new2neos"]esprinter: :) You are spot on on your ability to read through my intentions as relayed by my thread. Thank you for providing a very informative, intelligent, non aggressive response. I will definitely keep seeking Bullmastiff reputable breeders, and continue further researching the breed. [/quote] Thanks..... I think. :wink: 8) As for your question "is a Bullmastiff a Molesser?" There is a person on here (Raylane) who seems to have spent a lot of time researching that type of thing, who would know doubt no more on this than I. I will say, however, that if an Old English Mastiff is a Molesser, then a Bullmastiff also has to be one. This is simply because the BM is mostly OEM. In addition (and here is where some sources seem to disagree) the Old English Bulldog may have been from a common ancester of or an older form of OEM... Furthermore after WWII OEM's were so rare, that other breeds including BMs, were bred into the bloodline to prevent over inbreeding and DNA studies show BMs and OEMs to be 2 of the most closely related dog breeds (no big suprise there). Thus biologically, it would make absolutly no sense to classify one breed a molosser and not the other... :idea:
