Tibetan Mastiff

This breed of dogs was originally bred to guard the sheep from predators such as leopards, wolves, bears and tigers. The Tibetan Mastiff can grow up to 83 cm and up to 160 lbs.
To add to their size is their big and fluffy hair which makes them appear bigger – the perfect size to protect the herd and scare away big predators as well.
Fluffy on the outside, tough and strong on the inside, the Tibetan Mastiff breed has earned its reputation on the guard dogs department.
