HISTORY

Tibetan mastiff has been used centuries for guarding flocks and homesteads. Although still classed as a rare breed, the TM, as it is affectionately known, dates back almost three thousand years, and ranks among the oldest, purest breeds of dog. Used for many centuries to guard Tibetan Monasteries,In native Tibet, the dogs are allowed to roam freely at night to protect the village and flocks from thieves and predators. Their deep, sepulcher-like bark heard throughout the night assured the villagers that all would be well in the morning.
