The Tibetan mastiff is considered by many to be the stock from which most modern large working breeds have developed. Generations of working as a guardian of women and children has produced a temperament of fearlessness, tempered with patience and loyalty – as well as extreme stubbornness. The Tibetan mastiff is a powerful dog, with a broad and impressive head and a typical expression of watchfulness.
