Marco Polo has described those dogs as influential, powerful and with extraordinary good guard dogs. In Tibet there are arised several dogs with different personality and standards, who are called Tibetan Mastif. In fact they used the dog who is nowadays known as Do-Khyi more as hunting dog and cattle dog, less as guard dog. |

In
the temples and villages was for guard better known Tsang-Khyi,
who was sturdier and larger Tibetan Mastif than Do-Khyi.

Nowadays is Tsang-Khyi valued in China, where are several breeders who are focused only on this breed. European Tibetan mastif has gon nowaday look and standards from successor of Do-Khyi and Tsang-Khyi crossbreeds. Clean Tsang-Khyi does not exist in FCI standards, but in China they juded different from Do-Khyi breed. In Tibet they are different breed Tibetan mastif - Tsang-Khyi and Do-Khyi. |

In fact there are in Europe much those breeders, who wish to breed aboriginal dogs. That is why they asserted to FCI projects and suggestions, where thay wish to change the standards. Tsang-Khyi and Do-Khyi type of Tibetan Mastifs have different breed qualities, so they cannot measure them on one standard. |
