Tibetan Mastiff

The Tibetan Mastiff is a breed that has been around for centuries, serving as the precursor to many mastiffs worldwide. This guard dog was used by nomadic herdsmen to protect their flock and keep villages safe. Even Chinese documents dating back over 3,000 years make reference of the progenitors of today’s TMs! Truly this majestic canine symbolizes an age-old tradition with immense power and strength that makes it one of oldest breeds.

The Tibetan Mastiff is a thoughtful, independent canine that will fiercely love and guard its family. Although he gets along great with kids, the breed requires firm yet consistent instruction in order to be a tranquil guardian. With his tall stature, thick coat and sweeping tail over his backside – it’s no wonder this dog carries himself like royalty!

The Tibetan Mastiff is a breed of dog that can weigh anywhere from 80 to 150 pounds, and even more! If you are looking for an affectionate companion with temperamental qualities, these dogs may be the ideal choice for you. However, it’s important to remember that they require extensive training in order to reach their full potential.

The Tibetan Mastiff is exceptionally loyal and protective of his family, which includes other furry friends. His gentle nature makes him a great companion for children as well. He has an independent spirit with a distinct territorial attitude towards strangers; he may not even let people that you trust into the home! This breed was traditionally used to guard villages, so they are prone to barking throughout the night – but be sure this pup will alert you if something suspicious arises.

The Tibetan Mastiff has a captivating protective instinct that can be alluring, yet this breed is not suitable for the average person who is new to owning dogs. Training him requires someone with patience and expertise in order to teach him effectively without ever resorting to any coercive or violent tactics. He may have an independent personality but he will respond positively when given consistent commands and routines.

Tibetan Mastiffs are sensitive to conflict and discontent, so they should never be exposed to arguments or discipline. If you do happen to quarrel in the presence of a Tibetan Mastiff, it will likely intervene with an effort to dissolve any tension. Since these majestic creatures tend to guard those that belong under their care fiercely, it is not recommended for them supervise children’s playtime as playful activities may easily be misconstrued by this breed as dangerous scuffles.

Tibetan Mastiffs can be quite sedentary once they’ve reached adulthood, but puppies are bursting with energy and need a secure space to romp that is protected from vehicle traffic. A tall fence of at least 5 or 6 feet should surround their property in order for the pups to learn their boundaries, so it’s best suited for an owner who has plenty of yard space. When taking these dogs out on walks, you must always keep them leashed as they cannot reliably respond when called off-leash.

As with most canine types, Tibetan Mastiff puppies are prone to biting and chewing – but their large size can cause more extensive destruction than other breeds. As such, if you don’t want your belongings eaten up then it’s best not to give them unsupervised access of the house until they reach a trustworthy age (3-5 years).

Not only is it cruel to chain a Tibetan Mastiff out in the yard and ignore him, but this can also lead to aggressive and destructive behavior. Though he’s independent enough that you don’t have to take him along everywhere you go, the Tibetan Mastiff thrives best when there’s another dog with which he can bond or if his people are at home; then of course he should be inside enjoying their company.
