Tibetan mastiff

Look at this adorable, fluffy bred! The Tibetan mastiff is typically found in Tibet, China, Nepal, and Central Asia. This breed is an ancient large, muscular dog with a thick, usually dark coat. Males can reach up to heights of up to 83 cm (33 inches) and weigh between 45–72 kg (100-160 pounds) but overweight dogs are quite common. That makes them even more cute. They’re known as a flock guardian dog in Tibet, and it is capable of confronting predators the size of wolves and leopards.
