Tibetan mastiffs are a large hunting dog breed originating from Tibet, known for their fierce appearance and also called the "Chinese divine dog." In Tibet, they are considered the mounts of living Buddhas. They are native to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Tibetan mastiffs have a robust physique: large heads, long hair, resembling a lion in appearance and a tiger in body, with a fierce and courageous temperament, great strength, and a lingering wildness. They are strong in disease resistance, territorial, and skilled in attacking. They exhibit intense hostility and lethality toward strangers and intruders but are absolutely loyal and obedient to their owners. A Tibetan mastiff is not only capable of guarding a home but also protecting an entire village or estate. On the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Tibetan mastiffs can not only tear apart wolves and leopards but also guard livestock. They can also predict avalanches and earthquakes and risk their lives to save their masters. As a result, Tibetan mastiffs have gained high international recognition, and in the international market, high-quality Tibetan mastiffs are extremely valuable. Tibetan mastiffs are beloved by people worldwide and are recognized as the world's finest mastiff king. Owners of purebred Tibetan mastiffs are proud of their possession. Tibetan mastiffs have become symbols of safety and wealth and are a source of pride for the entire nation.
However, the ancient, primitive, and fierce Tibetan mastiffs—these majestic creatures that resemble lions and tigers but are neither, that are dogs yet beyond ordinary dogs—that treasure left to us by our ancestors, the divine dog of China, are now facing a declining population in China due to neglect, lack of improvement, environmental changes, and the loss of excellent bloodlines. To preserve this precious national treasure, the Tibetan mastiff, it is urgent for everyone to recognize the severity of the situation and take action. Let us all contribute love and effort to protect and develop this unique divine dog of China.
