Whisper and Grizz started to guard on their own at a young age. They guard our goats with great enthusiasm. They have lived here on Wild Bear Mountain since they were pups and have a wonderful life.They have 40 acres to guard and do their job quite well. The also love to climb up on the couch and make themselves quite at home indoors too. Being the ancient breed that they are, they sometimes will tell you who the boss is.
A great companion for the entire family, good with kids.
These dogs are not prone to many hip problems that are common in other large breed dogs due to the genetics of being a mountain dog. Unlike many other breeds the Tibetan Mastiff will only breed once a year. We do have a waiting list and it is first come.

The Tibetan Mastiff is a native to Central Asia where it is found in the Himalayan region and the high remote mountain regions of Nepal and Tibet. It's courage is legendary and serve both villagers and nomads as sentinel and watchdogs. As the Tibetan Mastiff evolved in an unforgiving climate. It had to adapt to the harsh environment and perform guard duties often without human command . As a result, the Tibetan Mastiff is a very intelligent , capable of making it's own decisions and acting on them. A very perceptive dog, which is naturally wary of strangers. The Tibetan Mastiff requires early and careful socialization to new people and situations. It's temperament does not suit everyone. It needs a strong, confident, and patient owner willing to train and socialize a large, strong dog with a very stubborn streak.

"HERDING our livestock-"

Tibetan Mastiff is a very powerful dog .

The Tibetan Mastiff is a wonderful companion dog as well as being a wonderful watch and guard. It should deter strangers with its impressive presence and bellowing bark. It is protective of its own family and property. It likes being a member of the family but also enjoys being aloof. Socializing is a must with your new puppy. It must be sound and active and it should be totally reliable in temperament. When young , your puppy needs firm but kind handling. Rules need to be established as soon as your puppy is taken home.

The Tibetan Mastiff is usually calm and in the house except at the approach of strangers. It is an excellent family dog being loyal and adaptable, and it is gentle, protective and patient with small children (provided they return the compliment). It is intelligent, able to think for itself,mostly thinking it knows how to handle most situations.
