The Mastiff is an ancient working dog breed among nomadic peoples. Ghost mastiffs can identify their own pastures, roam with their owners, and quickly become familiar with new areas. They have a strong ability to identify their own cattle, sheep and Tibetan mastiffs, and can assist their owners to go out and return from pastures.

Nowadays, many people keep ghost mastiffs as pets, but ghost mastiffs are fierce by nature. Especially for strangers, they are very aggressive, so they need to be extra careful when raising them.
