Heritage & Purpose
Bulldog
Origin:
Developed in England during the 1500s for bull-baiting sports. After blood sports were banned, selective breeding transformed them into gentle companion dogs.
Tibetan Mastiff
Origin:
Serving as guardians of Tibetan monasteries and nomadic camps in the Himalayas since ancient times, these dogs protected livestock and property from predators including wolves and leopards.
Special Considerations
Bulldog
Requires regular cleaning of facial wrinkles, moderate exercise in cool weather, and close monitoring of breathing issues. Cannot tolerate extreme temperatures.
Tibetan Mastiff
Extensive grooming during shedding seasons, strong guarding instincts requiring management, and need for early socialization to prevent excessive protectiveness.
