How well do Tibetan Mastiffs get along with children?
Very well, however, care should be taken when strange children are playing with known children under the guarding eye of the dog. Tibetan Mastiffs are generally excellent decision makers and know when they are dealing with children, but rough play between children can be misunderstood. Large Tibetan Mastiffs may also learn to lie down for very small children, but their enthusiasm alone (in the form of a lick or a tail wag) can be overwhelming to a young child. Caution is urged until the owner is confident about interactions between children and their individual dog.
