Thanks for the reply and for the welcome. I really hope to learn a lot from this site. I'll try to get some pics of my girl's puppy so everyone can take a more accurate guess. I know it's hard to guess, but at least I figured that people in this forum would have better guesses than I would. I have no experience with molossers, I'm an Akita man myself. As far as my other questions, do you have any input on them?
