Generally no, and they are definitely not recommended for inexperienced dog owners.

The Tibetan Mastiff is a strong-willed and occasionally stubborn dog. It can be self-centred at times, and can be ignorant of commands, so it requires a confident and experienced owner to be in charge of training.

The Tibetan Mastiff is also likely to be aggressive or suspicious towards other people and animals. Early and regular socialisation is definitely compulsory, as well as supervision from the owner to prevent unwanted aggression. Barking may also be a potential behavioural problem.

The Tibetan Mastiff also sheds heavily, and is not an ideal pet for those allergic to dogs. These large dogs also slobber and take up quite a lot of room at home as well as in a car.

However, this breed is devoted to its owner and can make an excellent watchdog due to its protective instincts. Its exercise requirements and energy level is also lower than most other large breeds. The Tibetan Mastiff may be the right breed for you if you are looking for this type of dog or is interested in rare breeds, but you must bear in mind that they are prone to aggression, barking, shedding, slobbering and can be hard to train. It is highly recommended that you do further research on this breed before deciding to acquire one.
