Question: What type of animal are both Sakhalin Husky and Neapolitan Mastiff?
Context: The Molossus of Epirus (Greek: Μολοσσός της Ηπείρου) is a large dog breed originating from Greece.  It is a livestock guardian that has been bred since the age of Alexander the Great for protecting livestock from carnivorous mammals including the wolf, European jackal and the brown bear in the mountainous regions of Greece, especially Epirus.  The Molossus is a pure Greek breed and is believed to be one of the main ancestors of today's Molosser breeds, such as the English Mastiff and the Neapolitan Mastiff, The English Mastiff is a breed of extremely large dog (often known simply as the Mastiff) perhaps descended from the ancient Alaunt and Pugnaces Britanniae, with a significant input from the Alpine Mastiff in the 19th century.  Distinguishable by enormous size, massive head, and a limited range of colours, but always displaying a black mask, the Mastiff is noted for its gentle and loving nature.  The lineage of modern dogs can be traced back to the early 19th century, but the modern type was stabilised in the 1880s and refined since.  Following a period of sharp decline, the Mastiff has increased its worldwide popularity.  Throughout its history, the Mastiff has contributed to the development of a number of dog breeds, some generally known as Mastiff-type dogs, or, confusingly, just as "Mastiffs". The Ameri-Indian Alaskan Husky is a sub-type of the Alaskan Husky, a type, or a category of dog.  This sub-type is reminiscent of the more family oriented Native American or Trap-line dogs, noted for strong family/human ties and strong, enduring body type suited to the ever-changing temperatures.  The native dogs were utilized not only as hunting dogs but as family companion/protector and beast of burden (pulling a travois or carrying like a pack animal).  The effort to return to and to improve sound bodies and minds, the Ameri-Indian type are a calmer, more focused type of Alaskan Husky.  Easier to work with and train, they are notable family dogs who adapt easily to different living environments. The Cane da Presa Meridionale (Italian for "Southern Catching Dog") is the old, "functional" working variant of the Neapolitan Mastiff.  Before 1946 there was no distinction between Neapolitan Mastiff, Cane da Presa and Cane Corso, these were simply three different names for the same dog.  The modern Neapolitan Mastiff is unlike the original, a dog created by dog shows. Fans of the original Mastino have started an organisation which is trying to gather the remaining specimens which would fit the 1946 standard of the Neapolitan Mastiff. Mastiff type means a large molosser dog.  The term "mastiff type" has been used synonymously with the term "molosser".  For example, the bulldog breeds, the Great Dane, the mountain dogs, the pit bulls and even smaller dogs such as the Boston terrier, may be considered "mastiff types" in this broad sense.  The descriptive term, mastiff type, should not be confused with the breed, the Mastiff.  All breeds are individual and should be referred to by their breed name to ensure correct identification. A mastinaro (plural "mastinari") is a Neapolitan Mastiff breeder.  Specifically, "mastinari" are the group of Neapolitan men who have worked since World War II to work as breeders at great personal sacrifice A Husky Beagle, or Cornish Husky, is a type of dog bred between a male Husky and female Beagle.  Similar in appearance to a Husky, a Husky Beagle maintains the look of a Husky with a stance of a small hound Beagle.  The working breed measures 15-21 inches with a weight of 35 to 55 pounds.  This dog type is an animal cross-breed between a tempered Husky and affectionate beagle, taking floppy ears from their beagle mother and soft appearance from a counterpart husky father. The Alaskan husky is not considered a pure breed.  It is defined only by its purpose, which is that of a highly efficient sled dog.  The husky is a blend of various Northern breeds, chosen particularly for skills such as pulling.  Specializations in type exist within the category, such as freighting dogs (Mackenzie River husky, Malamute), sprint Alaskans (Eurohound), and distance Alaskans. The Neapolitan Mastiff or Mastino (Italian: "Mastino Napoletano" ) is a large, ancient dog breed.  This massive breed is often used as a guard and defender of family and property due to their protective instincts and their fearsome appearance. The Sakhalin Husky, also known as the Karafuto-Ken (樺太犬 ) , is a breed of dog used as a sled dog.
