Independent and reserved, Tibetan Mastiffs have a propensity to be apprehensive of strangers yet, are devoted to their masters. These dogs tend to be stubborn guardians who frequently believe they know what is best and see themselves more as equal partners than pets, despite the fact that personality can differ from dog to dog.
Tibetan Mastiffs may appear to be imposing giants at first, but don't let that fool you—they're not quite as frightening as they seem. They resemble a cross between a ferocious lion and a cuddly teddy bear due to their large size and abundant amounts of fluff. Their powerful necks and shoulders, which have a dense mane of hair, give them a lion-like appearance. They appear to be prepared to face a yeti, thanks to their expressive eyes which also show intellect and alertness; they are constantly on the lookout for danger. They absolutely would, to be clear!
A Tibetan Mastiff will grow hostile toward people and other dogs, if they are not properly socialised as puppies. Although they will remain distant and aloof, they will become more accepting as they are exposed to a variety of people, animals and environments throughout their life. They will reserve their affection for close friends and family, and their hostility for danger.
To prevent biting tendencies spurred on by resource guarding, territoriality or over-protection, pet parents must be attentive in working with their puppy. Even a playful bite could do serious harm due to their 500-pound biting force, which is stronger than that of an American Pit Bull Terrier
