The Tibetan Mastiff is from the old Asian Mastiff family and it is believed that the Tibetan Mastiff was of a larger size back then, than it is today. They were used for guarding as they have a very strong protective instinct.
They are very slow to mature, taking up to age 3-4 years. They are easy to train as their desire to please is high and they have excellent memories. They enjoy dog obedience classes and learn quickly, however they can become bored with repitition, so you need to change their training routine regularly
They do make lovely family companions.
