Lion-headed mastiff and tiger-headed mastiff are the two most common breeds in Tibetan mastiff. The biggest difference between lion mastiff and tiger mastiff is the appearance, the shape of the head and the hair on the head and body. Moreover, the lion mastiff gives people a fierce and majestic lion-like momentum, while the tiger mastiff's momentum is more similar to that of a tiger. In order to distinguish the difference between lion mastiff and tiger mastiff in life, we must first understand their respective characteristics.

1. Lion mastiffs are mainly divided into big lion head type and small lion head type. The mane around the back of the head and neck of the lion is thick and upright, and the length of the mane can reach about 20 cm, which looks like a mighty lion. However, the mane around the head and neck of the small lion head type will be slightly shorter, the head wind will be smaller, and the expression will be calmer and look like a lion.

Second, the tiger mastiff is somewhat similar to the tiger in appearance, with a big head, short hair around the top of the head and neck, a wide mouth and a short nose. Compared with lion mastiff, the hair on the neck and body of tiger mastiff is much shorter. When you comb the hair of lion mastiff and tiger mastiff, you will find that the hair of tiger mastiff can be restored to its original state soon after reverse combing, but the hair of lion mastiff can't.

Of course, whether it is a lion mastiff or a tiger mastiff, whether they look like lions or more like tigers. Their brave, tenacious, brave, loyal and obedient characters have long been known. These Tibetan mastiffs live in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau all the year round. In order to protect the homes and property of herders, they need to fight with wild animals such as wolves. They have the reputation of "Oriental God Dogs" and are appreciated and respected by people.
