The Tibetan Mastiff got its start in China and is the most expensive breed out there. One sold for over $100,000 in China. They were bred to be a guard dog of the tents and families when the flocks were moved to high grounds. They origins of this breed are kinda murky but they are believed to have originated in the Himalayas. Today in modern China they are not being used as a guard dogs but as friendly family dogs. The dog remained isolated for many centuries.
With a large muscular body and pounds of fur on their back they are clearly one of the largest breeds out there. They shed much of there fur during the summer and winter. They have a somewhat large variety of coat colors. Tibetan Mastiffs come in black, brown, blue/grey, with or without tan markings, and various shades of gold.
In the training department they are very independent and intelligent. This will make them much harder to train. Tibetan Mastiffs are natural protectors and make excellent guard dogs. If you want them as a family pet you will need to train them at a early age. You will have to make sure to socialize them as a puppy to make sure they won't bite or fight the other dogs.
