With the Tibetan Mastiff being one of the largest breeds of domestic dog in today's world, they have a temperament that is highly sought after. Tibetan Mastiff Behavior can be described as extremely obedient and loyal and they aim to please their owner and their family.
The Tibetan Mastiffs enjoys large open spaces and thrive on the company of another dog tremendously. Naturally a guard dog, their ability to secure their owner's home is immense, deterring any would be intruders often by their sheer size of up to 31 inches alone. A calm and quiet dog when not on 'guard duty', they make fantastic family dogs, even with young children (with the assumption they both are bonded well from a young age).
Unfortunately, Tibetan Mastiff Behavior like this is generally only seen in the Tibetan Mastiffs bred in the Western world. Those Tibetan Mastiffs that are still bred in their home country of Tibet are considered to be fierce, extremely unruly and very difficult to train. Their guard dog instincts are extremely prominent and when mixed with their ferocious Behavior, they have been known to kill predators as large as tigers and lions.
