Tibetan Mastiff

The Tibetan Mastiff (Wylie: 'dogs khyi; Lhasa dialect IPA: ()) is an ancient breed and type of large Tibetan dog breed (''Canis lupus familiaris'') originating with nomadic cultures of Tibet, China, Nepal, and India. The breed is widely used by local tribes of Himachal Pradesh, China, Nepal and Tibet to protect their sheep from wolves, leopards, bears, large mustelids, other medium to large sized carnivorans, and (at least formerly) tigers.
== Names and etymology ==

The Tibetan Mastiff also known as ''"Dok-Khyi"''〔 (translated as "nomad dog", "dog which may be tied", "dog which may be kept"), reflects its use as a guardian of herds, flocks, tents, villages, monasteries, and palaces, much as the old English ban-dog (also meaning tied dog) was a dog tied outside the home as a guardian. However, in nomad camps and in villages, the ''do-khyi'' is traditionally allowed to run loose at night.
The guardian type from which the modern Tibetan Mastiff breed has been derived was known across the ancient world by many names. ''Bhote Kukur'' in Nepali as ''bhote'' means someone from Tibet and ''kukur'' means dog. The Chinese name for the breed is 藏獒 (Mandarin: ''Zàng áo''; Cantonese: ''Tzong ngou''), meaning "Tibetan Mastiff-dog". In Mongolia, it is called банхар (''bankhar'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tibetan Mastiff – mastifftibetan.ro )
The name Tibetan Mastiff is a misnomer; although this breed, along with its close relative the Caucasian Shepherd Dog, is one of the earliest ancestors of today's Molosser breeds (including all mastiffs), the Tibetan Mastiff itself is not a true Mastiff. The term "Mastiff" was used by the Europeans who first came to Tibet because it was used to refer to nearly all large dog breeds with large heads and heavy bodies in the West. Early Western visitors to Tibet misnamed several of its breeds: The "Tibetan Terrier" is not a Terrier and the "Tibetan Spaniel" is not a Spaniel. A better name for the dog would be Tibetan mountain dog or, to encompass the landrace breed throughout its range, Himalayan mountain dog.〔
