Chow Chow Size, Appearance Traits: Ultimate Guide

Section 1: How Large Can a Tibetan Mastiff Grow?

The "male Tibetan Mastiff" typically weighs between 25 to 32 kilograms (55 to 70 pounds) and stands at a shoulder height of approximately 48 to 56 centimeters (19 to 22 inches). On the other hand, the "female Tibetan Mastiff" usually weighs between 20 to 27 kilograms. Their shoulder height ranges from 46 to 51 centimeters. Regardless of size or weight, a wellproportioned Tibetan Mastiff should have a square shape from the shoulder height to the body length. For instance, if a Tibetan Mastiff measures 48 centimeters from the ground to the shoulder, its body length should also be 48 centimeters.

Section 2: How to Choose a Tibetan Mastiff?

Highquality and healthy Tibetan Mastiffs should have a flat skull that slightly curves at the junction of the mouth and nose. The round bones should extend towards the mouth and nose, and the adult dog's face should broaden. Most Tibetan Mastiffs' ears stand up around the 10week mark. The neck should be slightly arched, forming a 65degree angle with the horizontal body line, which adds to the dog's beauty.

When selecting a Tibetan Mastiff, pet owners should carefully inspect the dog's overall health. Begin by checking the dog's mouth for good oral health. A healthy dog will have a standard scissor bite, pink gums, strong teeth, and no gaps or odd odors when the upper and lower teeth meet, indicating a healthy mouth.
