Tibetan Mastiff
The Tibetan Mastiff is an ancient guardian breed developed in the Himalayan region to protect livestock and homes from predators. Calm and affectionate with family but naturally aloof with strangers, this powerful dog is known for its strong territorial instincts and dignified presence. Its lion-like mane, deep bark, and independent mind make it one of the most distinctive guardian breeds in the world.
