Molosser War Dogs typically have heavy bones, pendant ears, and a relatively short and well-muscled neck, with a short, broad muzzle. Molossers are used for a variety of jobs that require strength and size, such as pulling carts, guarding livestock from direwolves and shadow cats and battles.
Molossers take 2 years to become battle trained and are incredibly loyal and obedient to their trainer, however they must be trained from birth.
The houses of the Barrowlands claim to be the most skilled at training Molosser dog breeds for warring and the role of Dog Commander is seen as one of the highest and most prestigious positions that a member from the smallfolk can receive, in terms of battle formations. In an average war dog party contingent, for every Dog Commander, 8 war dogs are attached.
