Tips on Grooming Your Tibetan Mastiff

    Moderate Maintenance: Grooming should be performed regularly to keep its fur in good shape. No trimming or stripping needed.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Tibetan Mastiff Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential component of everyday pet care. Brushing assists to keep your Tibetan Mastiff dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shining coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore minimize the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Tibetan Mastiff dog are tasks that help to enhance the good connection bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Tibetan Mastiff

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend upon each personal dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats generally require less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more quickly.

    Some very short-haired canines may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep an eye on the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Tibetan Mastiff Information

A powerful, heavy, but athletic dog, the Tibetan Mastiff is built to combine strength and agility. Its body is slightly longer than tall. Its walk is slow and deliberate, while its trot is powerful and light-footed. The whole appearance is impressive, with a solemn but kindly expression. The coat, which is noticeably heavier in males than in females, is thick and fairly long, especially around the neck and shoulders. The tail is densely coated and the hind legs well feathered on the upper parts. The hair is coarse, straight and hard, standing off from the body. It carries a heavy undercoat in cold weather, but little undercoat in warm weather. This combination of coat types allows the Tibetan Mastiff to endure the extremes of Tibetan weather.

As befitting their long past as a solitary sentry and protector, Tibetan Mastiffs are independent, strong willed, and territorial. They are aloof toward strangers but devoted to their family. Proper socialization is essential so that they will accept strangers and not become overly suspicious. They are gentle and patient with their children, but may guard their home against visiting children who may appear to be threatening the family children. They are generally good with other dogs and are rarely dog aggressive. (In Tibet, they were often kept with Lhasa Apsos.) Most Tibetan Mastiffs are good with other animals.
