Tibetan Mastiffs are very protective and territorial, brave and fearless especially when they are properly socialized. This breed is aloof and dignified, very noble, and is very gentle with their family. Tibetan Mastiffs can be good companions to children, only when they are raised with them since puppyhood. They are very wary of strangers and are highly protective. This breed may be somewhat difficult to train so you have to be very patient especially if you want to keep it as a family pet. Tibetan Mastiffs are fairly independent and has a very high tendency of being dominant over territory and over other dogs. Although Tibetan mastiffs need supervision when introduced to other animals or children, they will do well if they are raised with them. So if you want to adopt a Tibetan Mastiff, make sure that the ones you got are not yet of 1 year old.

When seeing a Tibetan Mastiff pounce into action when defending its flock, one may conclude that the dog has developed a bond between the livestock under its watch. Sound very heroic. But the truth is that the Tibetan Mastiff guards the livestock because they belong to their owner. There isn’t much bonding that goes around.

The livestock would also need to be in a fenced area for the instinct of this breed is to be more of a property guardian and less of a livestock one.  These dogs would rather spend their time laying down on the porch or patio and even the couch as it would simply respond to any intrusion or threats as it comes in the restricted area. So you expect these dogs to be ever so watchful and staying on guard as the livestock sleeps, then guess again. But if its property you need guarded, then these dogs are perfect.
