Now this is a fluffy little pup. Or rather, a big fluffy pup. This massive dog breed was created in Tibet centuries ago to be used as a guard dog for livestock. The males of the species can grow up to three feet in height and they can weigh up to 160 pounds - imagine that jumping on your lap after a long day at work. Ouch.
Tibetan mastiffs are still bred today and while they’re still guarding livestock, they’ve also been domesticated and can be found in just as many homes. They sure look like they’re fun to cuddle with, but when it comes to bathing them that’s going to be a hard pass.
