I would say yes, the Tibetan Mastiff is the best breed for you if you would like to have a strong willed, affectionate and very clever dog. Moreover this breed is also loyal and can become an excellent guardian of the family. Because of their strong, guardian instincts it is not recommended to leave them alone with smaller children, although they like kids. The breed likes other dogs around them as well, but be careful not to have smaller pets together with this powerful dog. They need a large yard and daily playing sessions to prevent them from getting bored and destructive. The Tibetan Mastiff is not suitable for novice dog owners because they are highly dominant.

The coat of the Tibetan Mastiff is a coarse, long and thick double coat that must be brushed regularly, at least weekly to protect the coat from matting. These dogs are seasonal shedders, at that time daily brushing is required. The breed is prone to health issues like hip dysplasia, epilepsy, allergies or cataracts.

Training the Tibetan Mastiff is somewhat hard, as the dog is very dominant and tends to be stubborn if the trainer is not good enough. They require consistency, firmness and patience during the training. When bored, they can become destructive at home, so early socialization and obedience training is recommended.

All in all, the Tibetan Mastiff is good for smaller families who will be able to provide enough love, exercise and variety to these dogs to keep them happy and content.

I hope this short article will be able to help you decide whether the Tibetan Mastiff is the right breed for you.

Is it normal, anyway?!

Yes, it is. Just imagine the situation from the point of view of your Mastiff. He is part of the family, often treated as “the kid”, and then, suddenly, a new creature arrives and takes all the attention of his beloved family. It is quite similar to what older children feel, when a little brother/sister arrives. One of the differences is just that the dog can’t speak English

Actually, if we are aware of this ‘problem’ in advance, the situation can be handled, but it needs consciousness and to be started in time, long before the baby’s arrival. Let’s see how we can prepare our Tibetan Mastiff for the new family member.

If your dog’s daily routine has to be changed with the baby’s arrival (it probably will), you should start changing the rules much earlier, giving him plenty of time to get used to the new set up. This way it isn’t going to be so sudden and shocking. If your Tibetan Mastiff hasn’t really been trained before, it’s high time to start. He should learn at least a few commands, like sit, stay, etc. This way, he’ll be easier to handle.

Many families worry about their dog endangering the health of the child, so the best thing to do is to take your pet to the vet, get him checked and get some advice. Get your Tibetan Mastiff used to the new smells, sounds in advance (blankets, lotions, toys). It’s also a good idea, that just after your baby was born, send home a blanket that the baby had been in, so your dog can experience the child’s smell in advance. It is very important to know that your  Mastiff will get a lot less attention from the mother, so when taking the baby home for the first time, the mother should greet the dog, so it is better if someone else is carrying the baby.

It is also a good idea not to leave them alone together at the first times, until your Tibetan Mastiff feels comfortable with the baby, because, for example, it is very possible that the dog won’t tolerate the child’s crying very well in the beginning. You have to teach him that this is a normal sound, and you should motivate him not to bark (with treats, for example).

And the most important rule for last, maybe it seems too obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning: try to give as much attention to your Tibetan Mastiff as you can. The point is that he has to feel that you do care about him. If you keep this in mind, most probably there will be no problem. You could also try Preparing Fido, which is an amazing collection of Baby sounds designed especially to get your dog ready for the arrival of the new Baby!

Tibetan Mastiff Dogs are large dogs that are big boned and covered with thick double coats which are medium to long in length. The accepted colors are brown, black and bluish gray with gold markings. They have square muzzles and deep set eyes, v-shaped ears that hang. With a deep chest and muscular necks, backs and legs, the appearance of this dog is of power and strength. Owning a genuine Tibetan Mastiff gives you a cuddle partner who is very gentle with children and has an instinct to protect anyone under its watch. If one is interested to own one, familiarization with the breed standard is imperative. Genuine dogs of quality should reflect the guidelines set in the standard. This will help one determine a quality canine from a poor one. But be careful of shady, non-quality breeders who are out to fool uneducated or uninformed buyers.
