I found my totem animal. What is this totem animal ?
It is 4-5, maby even more times of a full grown big dog.
It is as high as to the top of my head.
Body is similar to cheetahs body shape, but this animal does not have the elegance of cheetah.
Body seems to be more concentrated on strenght, force, power than speed.
Very rough fur, similar to spikes but bendable - like regular fur but very rough.
Long tail, 1 times the body lenght of the animal.
Looks like cerberus with one head.
Fur looked like brown.
The only feline animal capable of reaching that size is a liger (half lion half tiger) however they hardly have the build of a cheetah, so I aminclined to say (I may be wrong) there is no modern animal matching your description. Can you describe it more at all, what coloring is it? What markings does it have? What is the shape of the head?
It sounds to me as if you are confusing animal totems with spirit guides, a totem is like a guardian who can bestow certain abilities on its protected when they need it, my family is watched over predominantly by the Mouse and Beaver, a spirit guide on the other hand is an entity taking on a form to suit the relationship between you, they command respect and authority and most mythical beasts are spirit guides rather than totems, I dont know if you guys here define things differently but thats the knowledge I was raised with at least

Sounds a bit like an Irish Wolfhound. They are the tallest breed of dog in the world and they are bred to run down and kill wolves one on one. Take a look at some of the pictures at the bottom of this link: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/images15/IrishWolfhoundFrankBrendan.JPG&imgrefurl=http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/irishwolfhound.htm&h=485&w=350&sz=53&tbnid=OzsIlqIEznJe2M:&tbnh=265&tbnw=191&prev=/images%3Fq%3D%2522irish%2Bwolfhound%2522&hl=en&usg=__u3D5sdhsqgvoKqWzPh8ryO7xmI0=&ei=dGZ3S96zJpCX8AbY76D0CQ&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=1&ct=image&ved=0CAkQ9QEwAA
