The real Tibetan Mastiff is as strong as a black bear, as agile as a leopard, and as wise as a hunter. This is the difference between a Tibetan proverb and Marco Polo's travel notes in AD 1275 Description of the Tibetan Mastiff.

The Tibetan Mastiff is four feet long, as strong as a calf, weighing more than 70 kilograms, with a short head and thighs.
