They are thought to have come out of the Himalayas to Europe with Alexander the Great and have been the foundation stock for the giant breeds in Europe. If you look at Saint Bernards, Newfoundlands, Great Pyrenees and Bernese Mountain Dogs, they all look kind of alike (except for color), and they all look like Tibetans. <BR/><BR/>These dogs (Do Kyi) aren't true mastiffs, but the Brits who gave them the name used it to mean "humongous dog".....<BR/><BR/>Yeti is currently 152 pounds, tho I expect when he blows coat in early summer he'll lose at leastz 2 pounds of hair!<BR/><BR/>Good luck on the adoption journey... two of my dearest friends in Maine have adopted...hannah and Bart got Nina just less than a month ago, and I get to meet Nina on MONDAY!
