The Tibetan Mastiff is a primitive breed used to guard livestock. The breed is highly intelligent, highly protective, and independent thinking dog. Richard Eichhorn has a been involved with this rare dog breed since 1978, he was one of the first advocates for the breed in the United States. Very few animal documentaries will give you insight in to this breed. While at his breeding facility in the California High Dessert, we see a lot of great examples of the Tibetan Mastiff breed. The modern Tibetan Mastiff if only slightly changed from the Ancient dogs of Tibet. Because this is a landrace breed developed over centuries in Southern China, and only recently brought mainstream, this is still a healthy breed. Aloof yet alert the Tibetan Mastiff is quiet and protective of his family, This is an elite canine guard dog. The Tibetan Mastiff developed in the Himalayan Mountains and the plains of Central Asia. The breed has a heavy coat that unlike more domesticated breeds, the coat serve as protection from predators as well as the elements.

A MESSAGE FROM DOCUMENTARY TELEVISION Hey guys thanks for watching the videos, to those of you who watch every video, double thanks. You all should know that it's my intention to film every dog breed. The order in which I film them is truly dependent on a lot of different factors, some of which are out of my control. I am a single person producing the content for this channel, so if I don't get to your request immediately, its not that your being ignored. Its a monumental task I'm taking on, please be patient and enjoy the videos as they come. Thanks!

Dogumentary TV fantastic video. This breed is absolutely amazing!! Love the breed. How'd you like seeing the breed up close?

[@valentineX1X]

I like this breeder, it's always encouraging to see someone who knows their shit and breeds for Heath first and everything else later.

[@SLFYSH]

Matt Fontwell yes. Especially since he is a judge and promoter of the breed. One of the biggest dangers and disappointments for so many breeds has been the breeding for the show ring at the expense of health; intelligence, and the instincts which were selected over so many generations...only to be thrown out for dogs that look pretty!

[@haileyjarmon1876]

Disappointing that he sold a dog to logan paul

[@thatonedog819]

I might argue temperament is most important, but I assume he places that at a close second.

[@drakyitms]

@@haileyjarmon1876 Hailey, yes, VERY disappointed with that experience. I had no idea who he was when he came to see the dogs. He had good instincts with the dogs, and had the right type of property. Turns out that his schedule did not permit him to be home enough to be with his Tibetan Mastiff, so she has been rehomed and lives happily with other Tibetan Mastiffs from her family.

[@herohour6496]

Totally agree. But it's money well earned as people are blessed with St Bernard puppies and siamese cats. If only more good breed dogs are available instead of breeds that are a dime a dozen. People would love their pets more.

[@nottyandcrazy]

Bro my Tibetan mastiffs barks too much at night. Natural instinct. In my village in Uttarakhand everybody keeps Tibetan mastiffs due to leopard and at night whole village is like a barking orchestra. But now we have become habitual of the sounds

[@jerrywitaj]

Damn dude. Where do you live?

[@torygrace3499]

They probably bark to keep the leopards away. Great Pyrenees do something similar by barking in one place, moving, and barking again in order to make it seem like there are multiple dogs on the property to scare coyotes off

[@jerrywitaj]

Lina Pegu a what??

[@shinonkim4814]

Yes these dogs are bred to bark all night. Lol to the surprise of the the people who buy them to be house dogs

[@user-ze7ml6ec9m]

@Lina Pegu Only the enhanced Chinese one is different. Rest most Himalayan dogs are pretty much the same. An ancient wolf dog breed. Didn't watch the whole video but what the guy said initially about their nature is pretty darn accurate . I owned one(Gaddi mastiff) who grew to become quite large but was killed by a Tiger or Leopard. In village,we don't keep them tied. So they do have a mind of their own.

My grandfather used to tell us stories about Tibetan mastiff and how they fought with wolves leopards and even yeti lol.

[@Subwoofer101]

Wow, great video! Richard Eichhorn nailed it, nailed it, nailed it. My wife and I just kept giggling through the whole thing as he described our Angel perfectly. On guard dusk till dawn with regular announcements that she is on duty. "Off duty" when away from the home. 20% cat. Acknowledges that you are calling her, but not particularly motivated to come. Not impressed with the human "antics" of ball throwing. Doesn't look for trouble, but zero fear with threats. More of a supervisor than a subordinate, almost in a military sense. She takes her job seriously, and gets irritated if you don't respect that. Annoyingly and endearingly smart. You have to be prepared for 15 years of mental chess, and you had better win 90% of the time, or they will. They need to feel confident that you deserve to be in charge by demonstrating a calm cool authority with clear and consistent boundaries, otherwise they will just assume leadership until further notice. They need to feel that you deserve their respect. Angel is not a dog, she's more of a partner. She expects to have some say, and will let you know if she disagrees, complete with protests, some quite passionate. We LOVE our Tibetan Mastiff, but we rarely recommend the breed. Why? They are very special and deserve unique homes, both in property and in an owner. As they protect you, you need to protect them. They aren't just a dog, they are a treasure. Excellent video!

[@badtrekee4348]

Don't tell me you were dumb enough to pay all that money for this mutt?

[@Subwoofer101]

Jay Smith I didn't pay a dime for my dog, we adopted her. I didn't know that there are people who think the breed isn't legitimate. Funny, you can spend even more on sickly dogs that aren't even capable of giving birth unassisted. Yet the ancient breed that has been tested and proven for tens of thousands of years in extremely harsh environments, with a life span double most dogs it's size, is what some people consider it a mutt, or somehow undesirable. Kind of funny when you think about it. You stick with your pure breeds, my "mutt" is just fine for me.

[@rm5238]

SpAceX Fan if they are smart enough to earn a lot of money then it's up to them on what to spend it on. I think your definition of mutt is off, this is an ancient breed. Be happy bud.

[@samueladams1775]

These dogs are not mutts and only an idiot would call them that. As for people paying a considerable amount of money for the dog, it is their money and their right to spend it as they wish.

[@aaguirre453]

Me Myself And I the reason that these people put so much of themselves into these dogs is because they care about and love them. They spend time with their dogs, seeing them as much more than some random animal or simple source of protection. Apparently in England, people don't really care about the animals that they have, and can't comprehend the reason that we would care for our dogs. Tibetan Mastiffs need alot of time put into their care and development, and people love and put time into them like they would a child. If people in England can't understand that, then that's pretty sad.

[@SilentMover95]

When I was staying in a hotel in shangri-la, China, the owner owns one of these dogs. The dogs are huge and mean but the one he has was really friendly and cuddly. The owner is a chill dude and allowed his dog to follow me all over the town. Really like that place.

The first notable Tibetan Mastiff was on the movie Mans Best Friend, just look at that dog! He is Rotty mix. Many of the first were Rot and St Bernard mixes, then would add Chow at times.

I've raised a TM across the street. He's 14 months old now. Very gentle giant, friendly with all dogs and likes to sniff people. He has had ear fungus and infections in his ears since my neighbor got him so if people reach to pet his head he recoils. He's honestly the sweetest and most docile guy out there. Not vicious at all. People who keep them out all day and don't socialize them make them have the fake identity of vicious guardians.

[@MT-if1jr]

Socialization is key with all dogs.

[@jordanmercier3616]

I socialized mine a tonne, dog park 2-3 times a week. Daily walks, hikes. Didn't matter she's a guardian thru and thru, at home she alerts us Everytime someone goes by the house and she won't let anyone or anything near the property. Off property she's docile, gentle and loving, totally different animal when she's not in guard mode.

[@Rascallucci]

They are very popular amongst rich people in China who want to show off. Even in Hong Kong is the same thing, they can fetch upwards of HK$ 1 million. Problem is this breed can be aggressive and your average dog owner will not be able to handle this dog given its size. We have had numerous attack cases, not just on other dogs, but actually human beings who have been viciously attacked unprovoked. They are dominant and highly territorial, if you walk past its house and for some reason if the front gate is left open, unless they are leashed, it is almost guaranteed you will be attacked.

An interesting video. Although this is not a breed that I anticipate ever owning, I've admired them as a primary form of mastiff, probably the progenitor of all mastiff breeds, for many years. Just a few days ago a man arrived at our local dog park with two magnificent Tibetan Mastiffs---one gold, one black and tan---and they were quite impressive.

[@dlholmes111]

WOW, does everyone believe this stupid MYTH!!! I helped make this breed in the 80's. Their was a book, ''The world of Fighting Dogs'' which first spoke of the breed, but had a fake TM picture which looked cool, but was not a TM. NO TM WAS EVER FOUND IN TIBET, NOT EVEN IN THE FOSSIL RECORD. I have been studying where Mastiffs came from, and found the Phoenicians imported them to Europe 3000 years ago. I believe maybe the instinct Borophagus from the US is to origin of all mastiffs. The Italian Mastiffs are the oldest, Cane Corso being the oldest of the two. And if you look at a skull from an Italian Mastiff and compare to Borophagus they are sooo similar, and to different from a wolf for the wolf to be their ancestor.

[@hmmmhmmm6178]

The Tibetan Mastiff has nothing in common with actual mastiff breeds. It’s a misnomer, they aren’t actually mastiffs and European mastiff didn’t descend from them - there‘ve been genetic studies.

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

You do such great interviews. I was around this breed back in the late 90's at ARBA shows in So Cal when we were showing Tosas. I remember at one show there was a male that had not been socialized well and was explosive in his kennel when anyone came too close. Left an impression on me, they are formidable dogs. Beautiful as well, I am partial to the black and tan.
