 Loyal like a Tibetan mastiff, why still bite his master?

Where do Tibetan clams come from?

Tibetan mastiff is a breed of dog raised and trained by Tibetans to protect livestock, protect the lives of indigenous people in the Himalayas from wolves, tigers, bears and other wild animals, guard their homes, and guard monasteries in Tibet.

They are loyal, stubborn, and especially obedient to only one master. The Tibetan mastiff is known as the king of the grassland, and is known as "bigger than a wolf, stronger than a leopard, and faster than a deer". The Tibetan Mastiff may be the ancestor of some of today's Mastiff breeds.

Playing Tibetan mastiffs used to be a pastime for Chinese royalty. Owning a purebred dog quickly became a symbol of power and status.

The Tibetan Mastiff became popular in China about 10 years ago, and owning a purebred dog quickly became a symbol of power and status. The price of a purebred Tibetan Mastiff is as high as $2.4 million (2014). Another dog was bought by a woman for $600,000, and a convoy of 30 cars drove it to the airport. These figures are enough to illustrate the "golden age" of the mastiff.

By 2015, the Tibetan mastiff trading venues had dwindled, and the price of a dog had dropped from around $300,000 to less than $1,500.

Selling Tibetan clams made a lot of money.

However, many people only find out after buying a dog that this kind of dog is huge and not suitable for urban areas and small and medium-sized houses. Not only that, people buy dogs to have children and sell dogs for money for profit. They even purposely crossed the clams with other dogs to make the F1 look more eye-catching, which caused many dogs to have problems with genetic diseases.

The indiscriminate crossbreeding produced a generation of puppies that lacked the most important characteristic of the Tibetan Mastiff: loyalty. If you keep hybrid Tibetan clams, even if you raise them from a young age, in some cases, many will attack the owner.

Children Are Vulnerable to Dog Attacks

In fact, no matter the breed of dog, children are still the most vulnerable. Of the more than 7,000 dog attacks, 1,159 were children under the age of nine, according to the UK Department of Health. Of those, 76 percent were injuries to the face and throat.

Like any dog, children are often the most vulnerable. illustration

British veterinarian Sean Wensley believes that the main reason is that children often behave quite abnormally. They can swoop in, hug, and even pinch the dog. As a result, the dog panicked and did not dare to protest. And if the body lags behind too much, the consequences will be serious.

Moreover, when the dog is preparing to protest, there will always be some obvious behaviors, such as licking lips, bending over, drooping ears... The children's observation skills are not enough, and some children even think that the dog showing its teeth is... also Laughed.

Information like this shows that it is a big no-no to let children have access to pets without supervision. Always be careful not to let unfortunate consequences happen.
