Temperament and Behavior of world expensive dog Tibetan Mastiff :-
As a flock
guardian dog in Tibet and in the West, it is tenacious in its ability to
confront predators the size of wolves and leopards. As a socialized, more
domestic dog, it can thrive in a spacious, fenced yard with a canine companion,
but it is generally not an appropriate dog for apartment living. The
Western-bred dogs are generally more easy-going, although somewhat aloof with
strangers coming to the home. Through hundreds of years of selective breeding
for a protective flock and family guardian, the breed has been prized for being
a nocturnal sentry, keeping would-be predators and intruders at bay, barking at
sounds throughout the night. Leaving a Tibetan Mastiff outside all night with
neighbors nearby is not recommended. They often sleep during the day to be more
active, alert and aware at night.
Like all flock
guardian breeds, they are intelligent and stubborn to a fault, so obedience
training is recommended (although only mildly successful with some individuals)
since this is a strong-willed, powerful breed. Unless they are to be used
exclusively as livestock guardians, socialization is also critical with this
breed because of their reserved nature with strangers and guardian instincts.
They are excellent family dogs—for the right family. Owners must understand
canine psychology and be willing and able to assume the primary leadership
position. Lack of consistent, rational discipline can result in the creation of
dangerous, unpredictable dogs (although this is true of virtually every dog
breed). The protectiveness of Tibetan Mastiffs requires alertness and planning
by the owner in order to avoid mishaps when the dog is simply performing as a
guardian. The breed is not recommended for novice dog owners.
