Tibetan mastiff photo's at crufts 2013

ha!! funny you pick him out because he IS the one I would put Mooshi too. You need to see him up close to appreciate him.

lol! Some of the photo angles are a bit weird so its hard to tell if its the dog or the angle, but I don't dislike him lol

that big one was a european import...he was lovely but over exagerated, very lion maned and not (IMO) a true TM, compared to the TM's from Tibet. He looked more like what the Chinese are doing to the TM's right now, which I dont agree with....they mix them with Chow's etc to get a more exagerated coat etc.

So that type pretty much dominant the ring soon? I'm not sure if this is correct but I read that "true" chows even look like, where people are breeding.

I've had alot of breeders tell me that if theres a lion coat in the ring theres a better than average chance the lion coat will get picked :/ its obviously not 100% true, but....it is eye catching.

Here's his Pedigree: KUNZANG BAL BHAGYA TO BISURMAN :: The Tibetan Mastiff Info Pedigree Database looks like he just turned two, no hip scores listed yet, but I don't know how to read the hip scores on the parents/grand parents, Mooshi's Mummy how do those ratings look to you?

The trend is starting....sad. I don't dislike it but I agree with MM he's a big exaggerated for my tastes. The closest I would go would be either Aslan or Apollo for males.

 

[Mooshi's Mummy]

I am 100% with you DD...100%. Apollo is a GORGEOUS male and perfect IMO.

 

[Mooshi's Mummy]

I dont know what AA means?? The elbow look ok but I wouldnt be allowed to breed Moo if she had a 0/1...my breeder only allows 0/0...in other words perfect elbows.

I must say there are some beautiful dogs in that pedigree. Not sure how "correct" they are though

I think he's perfect myself, but I'm biased lol. I don't actually mind Aslan's lion coat as much, BUT, that may be because Susie prefer's a more natural look in her grooming (and thus less fluffy).

Perfect sounds good to me to me too!

Me either, its hard to tell from the pictures. Lotsa lion coats though.
