Small Tibetan Mastiff

1. Tibetan Mastiff may be The most competent guard companion dogs for human beings, their average age is 10 to 15 years, or even more than 18 years, and they can live with us for such a long time, so you must consider carefully when choosing, whether to choose a large dog or a small dog, a male mastiff Or a female mastiff. Pets should be raised from an early age. For the first time, it is best to choose a young mastiff between 2 months and 6 months, which is easy to train and cultivate feelings; if there is a man to take care of, you can choose a male mastiff. They need regular exercise and walks, especially during the moulting season, and they need to be well cared for to make them a lovable and attractive dog; choosing a male or female mastiff is also something you need to consider, Male mastiffs are usually larger and more lively than female mastiffs, with stronger strength and self-esteem, while female mastiffs are more cordial and family-oriented, and especially like children.

2. Usually, the way we choose pets is: kennel breeding farms, pet stores or purchased from friends. A Tibetan Mastiff in a regular kennel can provide a pedigree certificate, which includes: dog breed name, dog name, date of birth, gender, coat color, and breeder. This will give you a general idea of where the puppies come from and so on.

3.

Both ears are flexible, the ear canal should be clean, there is no odor, and the inside of the ear is pink for health. There should be no dander on the tip of the ear to prevent parasites. If you often flick your ear to the side, there may be something wrong with the ear. Eyes should be bright and bright. The skin should be soft and elastic, not induration, hypertrophy, pay attention to whether the skin has lice, scabies and other parasites or other skin diseases. Dogs with skin diseases or parasites will not be able to bear it in a short period of time, scratching the lesions with their claws, and more than once, many times in a row. You have to see clearly the part where it scratches, whether there is erythema, and then careful inspection will find out whether there is any problem with the skin.

Attention should be paid to the bones of Tibetan mastiffs, such as whether the skull is deformed, whether the vertebrae are bent, whether there are cracks in the jaws, whether the hip and knee joints are dislocated, etc. It is best to touch the skull, maxilla, and mandible with your hands, and then feel the vertebrae and limb bones along the cervical vertebrae. Then let the Tibetan Mastiff exercise to see if its walking, running and jumping are graceful or limp. It is best to throw a paper ball or a toy at a distance in front of the young mastiff when it is concentrating, and guide it to run or flutter forward to see if its reaction is agile and its movement is flexible, then you can judge the bones of the limbs. Is there a problem. Many Tibetan mastiffs with bone problems are caused by inbreeding and genetics, so they are not suitable for breeding. These faults must be observed by oneself, not what can be explained on the pedigree certificate.

Some juvenile mastiffs are very unstable in temperament and mood and will bite people. If their previous generation dogs have bitten people, then the next generation dogs are also prone to this phenomenon. Eyelashes inverted The inverted eyelashes will stab the eyes of the young mastiff, and it will be more serious after one year old. Generally, there are more Shar Pei and Chow Chow dogs. No matter how cheap it is, don’t buy a deformed or rickety Tibetan Mastiff. The hind feet are X-shaped when viewed from the back, the front feet are O-shaped when viewed from the front, and the fins feet are soft when viewed from the side. Be careful to avoid them.
