Fluffy tails are more than just for show – they can curl over the nose and allow for warmer air to breathe while sleeping in cold climes. Sturdy legs and big foot pads help maneuver over snowy landscapes.

Tibetan Mastiffs are no where NEAR 180lbs. They are 75-125 lbs with their coat making them look larger than they are. Please update your information.

they can go up to 220. please update your attitude. (though it *does* seem like the average would be below 180.)
