8. Tibetan Mastiff
The Tibetan Mastiff is an ancient breed and type of domestic dog. The word ‘mastiff’ means ‘large dog,’ that’s why it is included in its name. Also known as “Do-Khyi” (door guard), reflects its use as a guardian of herds, flocks, tents, villages, monasteries, and palaces, much as the old English ban-dog, 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. SEE ALSO: Top 25 most dangerous Dog breeds (with Pictures)
