A 9-month-old puppy of an ancient breed weighs 80 kilograms and knocks an adult off his feet with one tail

It seems we have found the biggest puppy in the world. Meet this is Ephrat. She is only nine months old, but she already weighs almost 82 kilograms, and her height, if she stands on her hind legs, will be 1.8 meters. The girl eats eight full bowls of dog food. The owner of the puppy, 41-year-old Jared Howser from Salt Lake City, said that Efrat is always mistaken for an adult dog.

Euphrates belongs to a new breed — the American moloss. The breed was specially bred and is a descendant of the ancient Mesopotamian Molossus breed, which disappeared seven thousand years ago. The remains of once-existing giants are kept in museums. Scientists suggest that dogs were used in battles in ancient Mesopotamia.

Since the American moloss is still a new breed, it is not yet known how big the Euphrates can grow. The puppy cost five thousand dollars (almost 284 thousand rubles) and was the largest of the entire litter.

The dog grows in leaps and bounds, each time it happens for several weeks.

According to Hauser, she has become somewhat clumsy due to the fact that she is growing so fast and does not have time to get used to new sizes.

"Dogs of this breed are designed to make people tremble at the first sight of them. These dogs have a strong sense of loyalty, they will protect the owner from any threat."

Despite the protective instinct and intimidating appearance, Molossians are very friendly, gentle and loving dogs.

"I hope that Efrat will never know cruelty and violence. I live in a nice neighborhood, and since Efrat appeared, we are the only ones who have not had their car hacked."

"She is very affectionate. When we walk with her, she cuddles up to children and women. If someone reaches out to stroke her, her tail immediately begins to shake. But it's better to look her in the eye."
