[quote1279032023=DOKHYI] Bright is clearly "not so bright". I would be most interested to hear the facts he has to back up his remarks. First - the breed and its subvarieties are known as Tibetan Mastiff or Himalayan Sheepdog or Ghaddi. There is no breed known as a Himalayan Mastiff. Saras Tibetan Mastiffs are internationally known - this guy is NOT a resource on this breed. [/quote1279032023] I cannot say enough to people who see their own dullness in others.. you speak as if you precisely know what I mean by Himalayan Mastiff.. have you ever taken a look? I'm sure you haven't.. I am not referring to a breed, but a type of dogs from a specific region. and yes, I have neither claimed myself to be an expert of this breed nor do I say that I am an authority on this breed.. I think my views are a little esoteric.. but my suggestion to you is, know what you are commenting about.. and besides, be known! I am under no obligation to call any 'breed' as they are recognized by some frivolous kennel club or some 'Authority' on the breed. I refer to a specific type of dogs in accordance with what I understand about them, based on my own study.. if you understand what I am trying to say, its ok.. if you don't, its better.. if you understand but still act as if you don't understand, best of luck!
