Novice-owner OK
The Tibetan Mastiff is among the world's oldest dog breeds — guardians of nomadic flocks and Himalayan monasteries for thousands of years. Independent, territorial, slow to mature, and absolutely not a typical family pet.
Temperament
Independent, watchful, aloof, nocturnal (often barks at night). Strong territorial instincts.
Exercise needs
Moderate. Long walks plus a securely fenced yard.
Grooming
Massive double coat. Daily brushing during seasonal moults (which can last weeks).
Common health issues
Canine inherited demyelinative neuropathy (DNA test). Hip and elbow dysplasia. Hypothyroidism.
👍 Best for
Experienced owners with secure rural / suburban properties.
👎 Not best for
Almost everyone else. Suburban neighbours hate the night barking.
