Tibetan Mastiff

There is no consensus about the timing of this breed. According to the oldest accounts, it is known that as early as 1121 BC the Liu people, who lived in the eastern part of China, presented Emperor Wu Wang with a Tibetan mastiff-type dog.

The traveler and explorer Marco Polo described Tibetan mastiffs as early as 1271. He wrote that the peoples of Tibet bred powerful and noble dogs, the size of donkeys, and so perfect that they could be used for hunting wild animals without any problems. In its homeland, the Tibetan Mastiff served as a herding and guard dog. It was entrusted with the care of a herd of sheep and goats and the protection of homes against thieves and wild animals. The Tibetan Mastiff came to Europe in the 19th century. The first breeding farm was established in England in 1928.

During this period, you should spend about half an hour a day removing any dead hair with a brush and a comb. Tibetan Mastiffs reach maturity a little later than the rest of the dogs.

Tibetan Mastiff - health

The Tibetan Mastiff is resistant to all weather conditions. During the growing season, do not force your puppy to ensure that the muscles, bones and joints develop properly. This breed is prone to hip dysplasia.

Tibetan Mastiff - nutrition

The Mastiff is not a picky dog ​​and will eat whatever it finds in its bowl. However, it should not be overfed, especially as it grows. It is better for the dog to be thinner, and this is true of all large breeds. If you decide to feed your puppy with dry food, choose one that has a lower protein content and is suitable for large or giant breeds. Of course, the food should not contain grains and a large amount of carbohydrates. A good way to feed your four-legged friend is Barf. It is a diet similar to what wild animals eat. It contains raw meat, meat bones, offal, vegetables and fruit. And all this without the so-called fillers such as porridge, rice or pasta.
Give your dog the necessary ingredients, being careful not to overdose them. As with the deficiency of some nutrients, an excess of them, such as phosphorus or calcium, can also have adverse effects. Therefore, it is advisable to do blood tests before taking these types of supplements. After reaching full physical maturity, the Tibetan Mastiff is no longer very demanding in terms of diet.
