The Tibetan Mastiff (Tibetan: འདོགས་ཁྱི, Wylie: Dogs khyi; Chinese: 藏獒, Pinyin: Zàng áo , Nepali: भोटे कुकुर) is a large Tibetan dog breed belonging to the mastiff family. 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 breed might be the Tibetan Mountain Dog or, to encompass the landrace breed throughout its range, the Himalayan mountain dog. The Tsang-khyi (which, to a Tibetan, means only 'dog from Tsang') is also referred to as the 'monastery' type, described as generally taller, heavier, and more heavily boned, with more facial wrinkling and haw than the Do-khyi or 'nomad' type. Males can reach heights up to 83 cm (33 in). The original Tibetan Mastiff breed from its native range usually weighed 55–90 kg (121–198 lb).
