The Mountain Mastiff, known for its imposing size and strength, inhabits rugged mountainous regions. This breed is characterized by its thick, weather-resistant coat, powerful build, and keen protective instincts. It is highly intelligent and loyal, thriving in family settings where it can guard and accompany its human companions.

The Mountain Mastiff, commonly known as the Tibetan Mastiff, is native to the Himalayan region, particularly Tibet, Nepal, India, and Bhutan. It is also found in some areas of China.

The Tibetan Mastiff is adapted to mountainous regions with cold climates. These areas are characterized by high altitudes, low oxygen levels, and cold temperatures. The terrain is often rugged and covered with snow for a significant part of the year.

The Tibetan Mastiff serves as a guardian dog for nomadic herders, protecting livestock from predators such as wolves and leopards. Its thick double coat provides insulation against the harsh cold, and its large, powerful build is well-suited for navigating rugged terrains.
