For many centuries, the loyal, fearless dog known as the Tibetan Mastiff has guarded Tibetan Monasteries and protected livestock, villages and caravans in it's native Tibet. It is believed that this large, heavy guard dog with the massive head originated in China around 1000 BC. This breed is considered to be one of the ancestors of the Newfoundland, the Great Pyrenees, the Dogue de Bordeaux, the Great Dane and several others. Tibetan Mastiffs have gained popularity  throughout the world over the past century, and are loving, gentle and protective with family and guests who have been properly introduced to them. With proper obedience training, the Tibetan Mastiff makes an excellent family pet. They require plenty of exercise, a large, fenced yard, regular brushing, and plenty of hugs to keep them happy and healthy.
