These photos are of my friend Keith’s kennel on the Guizhou Plateau, near Guiyang.  Keith has about 12 Tibetan Mastiffs and he checks them every week.  The dogs have a “summer cut” for comfort. Their hair will grow out again this winter. The child in the pictures is a little girl that is growing up with the dogs. While I was there the child swatted one of the dogs in the face, without even looking, because the dog got too close. The Tibetan Mastiff can be one of the most powerful and dangerous dogs ever bred. They are both loyal and protective. [CLICK IMAGE FOR ENLARGEMENT]
