The Tibetan Mastiff is a big, impressive dog. Noble and powerfully built with a solemn yet kindly appearance. It is highly intelligent, independent, and strong willed. He is aloof with strangers and highly protective of his charges and his property. If left outside at night it may be a barker -- as he really prefers to be indoors with its family. Must be socilaized with the outside world, other people, pets, and children. It is best to start this as soon as possible as a pup. This is not an apartment dog. Lifetime can be exceptionally long for a large breed (10-14 years).
