I'm thinking a Livestock Guardian Breed like Buchi, my Caucasian Mountain Dog, from Caucasian Legend Kennels. Like Andy said, a Mastiff breed makes alot more sense. Buchi's paw print in the snow and mud look very similar to that picture. One of the Caucasian's jobs was to dispatch wolves that tried to infiltrate their flocks. Peace, Mike
