For centuries Tibetans have thought that one sort of dog, the Tibetan Mastiff, is holy. Tibetan Mastiffs have big heads and long hair.. Their big bodies give them the appearance of a lion. The Tibetan Mastiff is the most unsafe and assertive dog in the world.

rnThe Tibetan folks were winding for centuries, and dogs play a very important part in nomadic societies. Dogs guard the animal herds and guard private property, and also foretell tremors and avalanches. Tibetans also think that the Mastiff carried Buddha to reincarnation.
rnBut the Mastiff wasn’t born aggressive. When baby Mastiffs are born, they are lovable and sweet like other puppies. When Tibetan Mastiff’s are weaned, they are placed outside in a rectangular ditch made by stone. The ditch is deep enough that the Mastiff will never be ready to jump out. The painful weather joined with the torture of hunger torture these dogs. The Mastiff will be fed only a tiny piece of raw meat. However , the ditch becomes smaller and smaller for the Mastiff as their body grows larger. Their personality becomes more and more assertive. The Mastiff’s paws become stronger as they scratch the stone ground in frustration and hate toward their sour environment.

rnThe Mastiff by then has become terribly grumpy. Then the owner.brings the Mastiff to the mountains and leaves it in a small well. At this time, the owner does not have to protect them from wolves and other wild animal. The owners feed the Mastiffs several tiny pieces of meat every day. Occasionally wolves will howl and stand at the top of the well and try to take the Mastiff’s food. Finally, it’ll begin to bark at the wolves to protect itself and food. The Mastiff will scratch the stone ground really hard and try to get out of the well to attack the wolves. Its personality becomes very aggressive and cruel thanks to the sour environment. When the Mastiff is released from the stone well, the owner will release it to a grouping of other dogs. They attack the mastiff. The mastiff uses its robust pawns from digging in the stone well and their sharp teeth to fight back. By this point the Mastiff’s character is much nearer to a wolf. The owner feeds the Mastiff some wolf beef when it is truly hungry. By feeding training the Mastiff to be annoyed and feeding it wolf beef the Mastiff treats wolves as the natural enemy in natural settings. The pure sort of mastiff becomes limited today. There are only about 20 pure breed Mastiffs in the states and 10 in Taiwan today. Mastiffs are very devoted to their owners. They can be dangerous to strangers. In Tibet, a large amount of mixed breeds Mastiffs live in churches or even in the street. They don’t seem to be as assertive as trained, pure breed Mastiffs. The training technique of Tibetan Mastiffs is extremely unique and philosophical.
