The Broholmer, also called the Danish Broholmer, is a molosser breed of dog from Denmark, recognized by the Danish Kennel Club and the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. It is a large guardian breed which was named after Sehested of Broholm, a game-keeper who lived in the 1700s. During the Second World War, the Broholmer became a victim of the strife and almost went extinct, but was saved by a group of Danish enthusiasts after isolated members were found in the 1970s. It is a balanced molosser of about 50 to 60 kg and comes in both black and fawn with black mask.
