The Tibetan Mastiff is a primitive breed used to guard livestock. The breed is highly intelligent, highly protective, and independent thinking dog. Richard Eichhorn has a been involved with this rare dog breed since 1978, he was one of the first advocates for the breed in the United States. Very few animal documentaries will give you insight in to this breed. While at his breeding facility in the California High Dessert, we see a lot of great examples of the Tibetan Mastiff breed. The modern Tibetan Mastiff if only slightly changed from the Ancient dogs of Tibet. Because this is a landrace breed developed over centuries in Southern China, and only recently brought mainstream, this is still a healthy breed. Aloof yet alert the Tibetan Mastiff is quiet and protective of his family, This is an elite canine guard dog. The Tibetan Mastiff developed in the Himalayan Mountains and the plains of Central Asia. The breed has a heavy coat that unlike more domesticated breeds, the coat serve as protection from predators as well as the elements.

A MESSAGE FROM DOCUMENTARY TELEVISION
Hey guys thanks for watching the videos, to those of you who watch every video, double thanks. You all should know that it's my intention to film every dog breed. The order in which I film them is truly dependent on a lot of different factors, some of which are out of my control. I am a single person producing the content for this channel, so if I don't get to your request immediately, its not that your being ignored. Its a monumental task I'm taking on, please be patient and enjoy the videos as they come. Thanks!
Dogumentary TV amazing video man! keep up the good work
How Can Talk Or Be In Dogumentary Television Do I Have To Have A Kennel?
Dogumentary TV I just stumbled upon your channel and I just wanted to say. I've been looking for something like this for such a long time. Keep up the work, it's amazing!
do alaskan malamute
Dogumentary TV fantastic video. This breed is absolutely amazing!! Love the breed. How'd you like seeing the breed up close?
I like this breeder, it's always encouraging to see someone who knows their shit and breeds for Heath first and everything else later.
Matt Fontwell yes. Especially since he is a judge and promoter of the breed. One of the biggest dangers and disappointments for so many breeds has been the breeding for the show ring at the expense of health; intelligence, and the instincts which were selected over so many generations...only to be thrown out for dogs that look pretty!
Disappointing that he sold a dog to logan paul
I might argue temperament is most important, but I assume he places that at a close second.
@@haileyjarmon1876 Hailey, yes, VERY disappointed with that experience. I had no idea who he was when he came to see the dogs. He had good instincts with the dogs, and had the right type of property. Turns out that his schedule did not permit him to be home enough to be with his Tibetan Mastiff, so she has been rehomed and lives happily with other Tibetan Mastiffs from her family.
I like his picture the Tibetan Mastiff above his sofa.
foilist1 it’s a sheet of copper done in the repousee technique.
That man is rich af
the meat of tibetan mastiff must be delicious.
marky marcs they will eat you before you eat them lol
he must have so many playmates over at night
Without a doubt. My Grandmother would be breed Siamese Cats and St.Bernards for the longest time and told me she made well over a million dollars.
Totally agree. But it's money well earned as people are blessed with St Bernard puppies and siamese cats. If only more good breed dogs are available instead of breeds that are a dime a dozen. People would love their pets more.
When you're passionate about something, it shows! And it definitely shows here!
20isaBeast what was it that gave it away? The lamp? The rug? The ornaments? The pillows? The photos? The paintings?
Bro my Tibetan mastiffs barks too much at night. Natural instinct. In my village in Uttarakhand everybody keeps Tibetan mastiffs due to leopard and at night whole village is like a barking orchestra. But now we have become habitual of the sounds
Damn dude. Where do you live?
They probably bark to keep the leopards away. Great Pyrenees do something similar by barking in one place, moving, and barking again in order to make it seem like there are multiple dogs on the property to scare coyotes off
Lina Pegu a what??
Yes these dogs are bred to bark all night. Lol to the surprise of the the people who buy them to be house dogs
@Lina Pegu Only the enhanced Chinese one is different. Rest most Himalayan dogs are pretty much the same. An ancient wolf dog breed. Didn't watch the whole video but what the guy said initially about their nature is pretty darn accurate . I owned one(Gaddi mastiff) who grew to become quite large but was killed by a Tiger or Leopard. In village,we don't keep them tied. So they do have a mind of their own.
Wow, great video! Richard Eichhorn nailed it, nailed it, nailed it.
My wife and I just kept giggling through the whole thing as he described our Angel perfectly. On guard dusk till dawn with regular announcements that she is on duty. "Off duty" when away from the home. 20% cat. Acknowledges that you are calling her, but not particularly motivated to come. Not impressed with the human "antics" of ball throwing. Doesn't look for trouble, but zero fear with threats. More of a supervisor than a subordinate, almost in a military sense. She takes her job seriously, and gets irritated if you don't respect that.
Annoyingly and endearingly smart. You have to be prepared for 15 years of mental chess, and you had better win 90% of the time, or they will. They need to feel confident that you deserve to be in charge by demonstrating a calm cool authority with clear and consistent boundaries, otherwise they will just assume leadership until further notice. They need to feel that you deserve their respect. Angel is not a dog, she's more of a partner. She expects to have some say, and will let you know if she disagrees, complete with protests, some quite passionate.
We LOVE our Tibetan Mastiff, but we rarely recommend the breed. Why? They are very special and deserve unique homes, both in property and in an owner. As they protect you, you need to protect them. They aren't just a dog, they are a treasure.
Excellent video!
Don't tell me you were dumb enough to pay all that money for this mutt?
Jay Smith I didn't pay a dime for my dog, we adopted her. I didn't know that there are people who think the breed isn't legitimate. Funny, you can spend even more on sickly dogs that aren't even capable of giving birth unassisted. Yet the ancient breed that has been tested and proven for tens of thousands of years in extremely harsh environments, with a life span double most dogs it's size, is what some people consider it a mutt, or somehow undesirable. Kind of funny when you think about it. You stick with your pure breeds, my "mutt" is just fine for me.
SpAceX Fan if they are smart enough to earn a lot of money then it's up to them on what to spend it on. I think your definition of mutt is off, this is an ancient breed. Be happy bud.
These dogs are not mutts and only an idiot would call them that. As for people paying a considerable amount of money for the dog, it is their money and their right to spend it as they wish.
Me Myself And I the reason that these people put so much of themselves into these dogs is because they care about and love them. They spend time with their dogs, seeing them as much more than some random animal or simple source of protection. Apparently in England, people don't really care about the animals that they have, and can't comprehend the reason that we would care for our dogs. Tibetan Mastiffs need alot of time put into their care and development, and people love and put time into them like they would a child. If people in England can't understand that, then that's pretty sad.
I was ready to write him off as just another breeder. However, He really knows the breed and its history. Excellent video.
Your first instinct was correct.
their bark is so distinctive and intimidating
I have two. Hime and Agata. I was going down stairs and I had a stroke when I was 24, Hime actually ran in front of me and broke my fall so I landed on her instead of tumbling down the stairs. she even turned me on my back. hasn't left my side since I also have Utok who is a Russian Caucasian shepherd and Bane who is a Wolf hybrid.
Wow! Pretty damn incredible, thinking about getting a TM for myself in the near future
respect
I love that he is so passionate about the breed. I also like that he isn’t shy about the cons of owning a dog like this. That what good breeders do.
My grandfather used to tell us stories about Tibetan mastiff and how they fought with wolves leopards and even yeti lol. What some of the old timers used to do was put a spike chain around its neck so that wolves and leopards couldnt hold its neck. Lots of legendary stories about this legendary breed in my village.
I have so much respect for my Tibetan Mastiff , she amazes me every day 💚
best dogs in the world
Best dog breed I've owned.
what a beautiful bark... the ancestors have raised em well
I’ve gotten 2 Tibetan Terriers at different times from Rick. He’s very knowledgeable and truly kind, caring and loving towards his dogs.
Do Uk how long it take for a
Tsang-Khyi mane to fully grown
When I was staying in a hotel in shangri-la, China, the owner owns one of these dogs. The dogs are huge and mean but the one he has was really friendly and cuddly. The owner is a chill dude and allowed his dog to follow me all over the town. Really like that place.
That was intense and informative! Off property - just a big dog, on property - a defender. My favorite line was when he was talking about Coyotes not coming around, lol!
Amazing Zeke first ever documentary I've ever seen on the Tibetan Mastiff..👍👍
the meat of tibetan mastiff must be delicious.
marky marcs wtf nigga??? U fucking crazy ass crackhead
marky marcs fuckn savage
marky marcs true
man i really love the dogumentaries.thanks
Chrly Martinez leave lmao
Excellent breeder; knows so much !! Thank god.... that I finally found something profound on native Tibet's dog. Thanks dogumentary!!
Man your documentaries are on fire! great job.
'Drok' means nomad and 'Kyi' means dog in Tibetan.👍 Omg.... he has Tibetan Spaniel/Apso too. I'm a Tibetan myself and I must say he is a traditionalist too. That neck leash in red colour is a Tibetan style which has spikes inside to protect while fighting. Thanks to such passionate breeder like him that Tibetan Mastiff bloodline is protected otherwise most of the current TM have been genetically modified by Chinese because of TM bubble in China.
I loved hearing Richard talk. You can really hear the love and respect he has for his dogs.
Guiya that light coloured girl oh maahhhh gerrd 😍😍😍😍
Love this guy's passion and knowledge. Every dog breed should have breed stewards like this guy he's obviously dedicated his life to this breed and kudos to him. Gorgeous dogs.
SO wonderful! I am so excited I get my puppy from him very soon!
Manner Hall how much do they cost?
Great video! I like the fact that you present a lot of key facts about this amazing dog breed in a straightforward way without "special effects" and other fancy video tricks. Thank you!
Too Nice Who pissed in your cereal pal?
Best tibetan mastiff documentary I have seen.
Video is not bright enough,you should work on better brightness. Besides that this series is great,keep up the good work :)
LMAO!
Mirza the brightness is fine maybe turn it up on your device
WinterIsComing no, it's dark. Great video though. But darker than it should be.
Yeah, I agree. not sure why it's so dark
Dogumentary TV To be fair, the video was darker than normal, but I got used to it. Otherwise congrats on great content. For some reason you can't get Ovcharcra (sp?) out of your head.
I love this man, he really knows everything about Tibetan Mastiff. Thanks for keeping them original!! 👍
give him a break man... Imagine so many dog breeds... Finding reputable breeders.... THEN him being one person, yea alot of work!
Good lookin', I appreciate that bro!
Thanks to all involved with the Dogumentary series. Dogs are fascinating creatures and learning as much as possible about each breed has been a goal of mine and you make that possible.
You are doing an awesome job!your videos are very thorough and definitely a great asset to all those doglovers out there! Thank you dogumentary! Keep up the good effort!
The information in this video is amazing. Very informative. It's awesome to see a breeder who knows his breed and their history. Great video.
I've raised a TM across the street. He's 14 months old now. Very gentle giant, friendly with all dogs and likes to sniff people. He has had ear fungus and infections in his ears since my neighbor got him so if people reach to pet his head he recoils. He's honestly the sweetest and most docile guy out there. Not vicious at all. People who keep them out all day and don't socialize them make them have the fake identity of vicious guardians.
Socialization is key with all dogs.
I socialized mine a tonne, dog park 2-3 times a week. Daily walks, hikes. Didn't matter she's a guardian thru and thru, at home she alerts us Everytime someone goes by the house and she won't let anyone or anything near the property. Off property she's docile, gentle and loving, totally different animal when she's not in guard mode.
Great stuff Richard! The TM community needed this detailed dogumentary from someone who knows what there talking about. Thank you.
RICK DESERVES AN AWARD FOR HIS UTMOST KINDNESS
That's not a dog, that's a Lion!
Tora TAULAPAPA it is oMG
He is a independent dog unlike german shepherds they are taught to guard and attack this dog is on its own it can easily sense for fear or anything else and take sudden action
They are very clever.
They mostly sleep at the day and wake up al night bcz natural instinct
My cousin had this dog,I loved it
anqi wu Yeah they are very friendly only with their Master or Owner .Lol Okay I trust you.
anqi wu BTW IDK WHERE YOU LOVE THEY ARE HELL EXPENSIVE IN MOST OF THE COUNTRIES BUT IN NORTH PAKISTAN AND INDIA THEY ARE PRETTY CHEAP AND SOMETIMES YOU EVEN GET THEM FREE FROM FARMERS.
ITS SUCH AN PROTECTIVE BREED
Yo BrO 100 % agreed
Just what I like---a no nonsense dog, but not dangerous without a cause.
Thank you very much for producing such a wonderful documentary about this breed. This is exactly what I was looking for in my research!!!
I've been waiting for this video for a long time now I finally got it
My most inusual sighting of a Tibetan Mastiff in Tibet was in Lhasa at Norbulingka, the "Summer Palace" of the 5th-14 Dalai Lamas. The large beautifully landscaped park has summer homes & Temples. At one Temple, with roofed collonades, a Tibetan Mastiff kept watch from the roof tops, walking easily along a variey of rather steeply pitched roofs!
Richard Eichhorn thank you for taking the time to make this great video. Very informative. So much information here I watched it twice. I have been researching the breed and came across your website and now this documentary.
It was an honor to be asked by the filmmaker, and to be able to answer his thoughtful questions about the breed. The goal is to find the right owners and homes for these dogs.
I really like these interviews style ones we're you interview breeders 👍
Tibetan mastiff is the breed which is very independent in its thinking and attitude. Very loyal guardian.
It gets the independence from the Chow, and the guardian traits from the Rott, both breeds went into it's creation. I kept the perfect male pup from one of the first breedings, he was bad to the bone.
@@dlholmes111 hmm mate i think you got it the wrong way round Tibetan mastiffs are a much older breed
@@dlholmes111 this breed dates back 5000 years so how …..
@@connormills7277 I know it's tough to have someone tell you something that don't fit your beliefs, but I've been in this business since the 70s. We all saw a huge black one in a book, and believed everything we read. But as a rare breed enthusiast, They could not be found. Teams went out all over Asia, and NOT a single one was found. The first notable Tibetan Mastiff was on the movie Mans Best Friend, just look at that dog! He is Rotty mix. Many of the first were Rot and St Bernard mixes, then would add Chow at times. They've really evolved since
GEE He describes my brothers five dogs perfectly. At night they switch on and become guard dogs around the property. The female less so as she guards my brother in the house.
Thank you soooo much. This documentary by Richard Eichhorn is very helpful. We have a wolf mastiff breed that we mixed with American Eskimo . Our oldest male, Oso, the grandad of them all looked and had the temperament like that of a Tibetan Mastiff. Thanks again, this gave us some more insight on our dogs.
Thank you for all the knowledge! I have 2 and learned so much more information from you!
You should make one about the Fila Brasileiro
Fred Jason For real, there is like no video of them on YT, just some in 240p type shit
there are several vids of Filas all over youtube
Great video. You're channel is on my top ten list.
Jim Deeds Gym For The Soul Serj Tankian is that you?
Cheddar323 what?
it was an enjoyable experience listening to his voice. he has a good one. it was basically a podcast experience for me
I could literally listen to this guy all day!
Great video! Loved his total knowledge on the breed. Beautiful breed!
daofjudith chipoo
I´m surprised, that he know so much about the breed, regardless he breed these Tibetian hybrids :(( Makes me very sad, he seems as nice guy who know things. He should by the good guy and breed properly. :(
I´m gonna burn some marshmallow to feel better. :( ;(
Amazing you actually got an interview with this guy. I was a total dog nerd growing up.. researched on many of these rare breeds. I remember seeing his kennel name mentioned in some books and in the back of Dog Fancy (early 90's) .. long before everyone started realizing how fantastic the TM really is. The TM was one of my top "holy grail" breeds and honestly still is. Very good documentary. Excellent breeder 😉
Thanks, Agua Star! It helps to outlive the competition! Come for a visit sometime. Just outside Los Angeles.
Haha gosh wish I could. Live in Ohio and on a budget to make ends meet but.. wow ..thanks for the offer 😉 wouldn't mind giving that tri color pup a kiss or 2
Aqua Star, prices range from $2k-$5k, so something for everyone.
I'm supposed to be studying, but really love Tibetan Mastiffs and I'm gonna cry cause I love them so much!!!
Congrats. Great video. First time I really could relate with this specific breed.
I learnt so much about this amazing breed. I am not looking to own one however it really made me feel very informed if it was ever a consideration. They are magnificent. This was a wonderful video.
32K in 4 days with only 100,000 subscribers that's impressive stuff right there man for a TH-cam channel. Keep up the hard work.
Adorable, I wanna hug them all..
I love all your videos, I do research on breeds and training in my free time and your videos are so helpful and interesting to watch
They are very popular amongst rich people in China who want to show off. Even in Hong Kong is the same thing, they can fetch upwards of HK$ 1 million. Problem is this breed can be aggressive and your average dog owner will not be able to handle this dog given its size. We have had numerous attack cases, not just on other dogs, but actually human beings who have been viciously attacked unprovoked. They are dominant and highly territorial, if you walk past its house and for some reason if the front gate is left open, unless they are leashed, it is almost guaranteed you will be attacked.
Alex Fu True
Chinese are stupid for over pricing this breed I bought mine for 1 lakh rupees approx $2300 not stupid money like a million. The only trouble I had was begging the guy to sell me a pup. I aint seen another like ours but now switched to Cane Corso
its a mutt mixed for size the original dog was very rare and about 70 pounds for a large one.
that is so sad. in a city in such a small space they must get so frustrated and bored. pent up.
this dog is not for city life, it's meant to be in the field country side, I Love it cos it comes from my country Tibet not china.
That’s a really cute lion
Very well appreciated , thorough description, thank you
I like this man it’s nice to see a person who knows what their doing and knows there stuff
Puppies are so beautiful
a 4k dog documentary my life is complete
I really appreciate all the work and effort you put into these videos. Keep up the good work !
Thank you @karen sosa I really appreciate you and the growing number of women who are watching my channel. For the most part women have proven to be polite, insightful, and constructive when leaving comments. It really balances out all the rah rah bs, I get from some of the keyboard warriors out there. :)
this was so on time, thank you so much :)
I like to see this dogs in their natural habitat...
Nice documentary ... Keep it up
I love this dogs! They are so strong, tall and independant as no other Dog!
Great video! Love your stuff. Wonderful footage and unique inside information.
My dream dog
Gorgeous dogs. Going on the list
Send me an email for upcoming litter information. drakyitms@aol.com
Really appreciate your work. Keep it up.
THE BEST guy!! So much useful information about this gorgeous breed.
An interesting video. Although this is not a breed that I anticipate ever owning, I've admired them as a primary form of mastiff, probably the progenitor of all mastiff breeds, for many years. Just a few days ago a man arrived at our local dog park with two magnificent Tibetan Mastiffs---one gold, one black and tan---and they were quite impressive.
WOW, does everyone believe this stupid MYTH!!! I helped make this breed in the 80's. Their was a book, ''The world of Fighting Dogs'' which first spoke of the breed, but had a fake TM picture which looked cool, but was not a TM. NO TM WAS EVER FOUND IN TIBET, NOT EVEN IN THE FOSSIL RECORD. I have been studying where Mastiffs came from, and found the Phoenicians imported them to Europe 3000 years ago. I believe maybe the instinct Borophagus from the US is to origin of all mastiffs. The Italian Mastiffs are the oldest, Cane Corso being the oldest of the two. And if you look at a skull from an Italian Mastiff and compare to Borophagus they are sooo similar, and to different from a wolf for the wolf to be their ancestor.
The Tibetan Mastiff has nothing in common with actual mastiff breeds. It’s a misnomer, they aren’t actually mastiffs and European mastiff didn’t descend from them - there‘ve been genetic studies.
ooohh my favorite dog!
Your channel is great and enteraining and also educational, keep up with the work ! :D
Good to see you Richard
In our mountains we have for gurding from leopard. We call
Vot-ae kukur in local language.
I've had guardian dogs my entire life but if I tripped and fell in that place, I would simply crap my pants.....
Seriously well run facility, knowledgeable breeder. My father worked as an engineer on several projects in outer Mongolia where these dogs are vital for the survival of families. He said he's never been more impressed or terrified. He looked and smiled at a toddler, the 140lb+ dog moved between them and sat down facing my Dad. He got back in the Yurt very quickly.
China is invading Mongolia and this is sad.
Excellent documentaries. Well produced and informative. You're doing an excellent job! Now let's see a documentary on American Akitas! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic video! I learned a lot about Tibetan Mastiff. Thank you!
What a beautiful and interesting dog 💖
Great video Zeke! Those dogs look really good.....so nice to see breeders like this guy. Personally, I would never own one....not because I don't like them....coz I do like them...but I prefer more trainable dogs, and man....the grooming would be a nightmare.
This man is the perfect storytelling daddy.
Nice video, and the knowledge you had of this breed was awesome.
This is great. Continue the good work.
You do such great interviews. I was around this breed back in the late 90's at ARBA shows in So Cal when we were showing Tosas. I remember at one show there was a male that had not been socialized well and was explosive in his kennel when anyone came too close. Left an impression on me, they are formidable dogs. Beautiful as well, I am partial to the black and tan.
I showed with ARBA in the 90's, and I remember your Tosa!
Great doc! Really enjoyed learning about this breed. I have no intention of getting one, lol, but I love dogs in general, so it is fun to watch different people talking about the dog breed they are into. :) Keep the great work up, Dougumentary TV! :) :)
Awesome Work with the Breed Rick ! Im amazed at the wealth of information you share, for the breed!
What a fabulously rich informative video. Truly enjoyed watching. Thanks so much!
I Like The Long Hair Tibetan Mastiff Better They Remind Me Of A Male Lion.
The distinctive mane is a required breed characteristic, more present in mature males.
+DRAKYI TIBETAN MASTIFFS So The Females Monastery Type Of Tibetan Mastiffs Doesn't Have The Mane?
They have a mane, but not the same length as males.
These are The nomad branch of tibetan mastiffs, therby smaller and more agile, The other branch are bigger, Google the breed types for factcheck
hey thanks man
Fantastic! Thank you
in love with this channel!!
the dog he traded with in India is the same line of my TM.
Rich Lo you got a good looking dog bro
I've always wanted one:)
What gorgeous dogs
another great video you have the best video,s from dogs on youtube hope you keep it up to make these great video,s!!!! my compliments greetings wesley
