"A true Tibetan Mastiff is as strong as a black bear, as agile as a leopard, and as smart as a hunter." This is how Tibetan proverbs and Marco Polo's travel notes in 1275 AD describe the Tibetan Mastiff.

The Tibetan Mastiff is four feet long, as strong as a calf, and can weigh more than 70 kilograms. It has a short head and thighs. It is a "sacred dog" that protects cattle and sheep on the grassland. But today, most reporters see Tibetan mastiffs raised in various Tibetan mastiff breeding farms for sale. It is rare to see purebred Tibetan mastiffs on the grasslands.

The Tibetan Mastiff is universally recognized as the oldest and only remaining rare dog breed in the world. The miraculous legend about the Tibetan Mastiff has been mythologized as the incarnation of the heroic guardian deeds.

A purebred adult Tibetan Mastiff weighs about 70 kilograms, is about 130 centimeters long, and has a shoulder height of about 65 centimeters. It is so powerful and ferocious that ordinary people will never dare to approach it. The largest Tibetan mastiff the reporter saw in the Tibetan pastoral area was nearly 2 meters long, with a head like a tiger in the zoo and two big eyes. A Tibetan herdsman told reporters that Tibetan mastiffs like to eat raw beef, mutton and tsampa.

The Tibetan Mastiff, which grows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with high altitude and low temperature, has developed its rough, ferocious, fast and sensitive character due to the harsh geographical environment. The Tibetan Mastiff has long and thick hair that is resistant to severe cold and can sleep peacefully in ice and snow. Tibetan Mastiffs protect territory, food, and are good at attacking. They are strongly hostile to strangers, but are extremely affectionate towards their owners. It is an effective assistant in looking after homes and homes, herding horses and sheep. It is as strong as an ox, roars like a lion, has both strength and softness. It can herd cattle and sheep, understand its owner's intentions, and drive away wolves, tigers and leopards.

According to Tibetan compatriots, an adult Tibetan Mastiff can defeat three evil wolves and even defeat a leopard. In Tibet, the Tibetan Mastiff is known as the "Tiangu". There are stories of Tibetan Mastiffs defeating leopards and bears, not to mention two or three wolves. An excellent Tibetan Mastiff can look after hundreds of sheep.

In recent years, news reports of Tibetan mastiffs injuring people are not surprising. Many people may not know that "Tibetan Mastiff" is called "Duoqi" in Tibetan. "Duo" means tethered, and "Qi" means dog. This kind of dog is ferocious and aggressive and must be kept on a leash, otherwise it is extremely dangerous and will attack and cause harm to people.
