Tibetan Mastiff dogs are becoming increasingly more popular in China, and that has some people very concerned. For centuries, the Tibetan Mastiff was considered the protector of Tibet. Animal welfare activists are raising questions about the $ 600,000 price tag being paid for some purebred animals. Post resource - Tibetan Mastiff popularity raising questions of animal welfare by Newystype.com.
Why Tibetan Mastiffs are popular
Ethnic Tibetans have long considered Tibetan Mastiff dogs holy. Tibetan Mastiff dogs are considered signs of a safe and secure home. Some Tibetan Mastiff canines are huge, reaching 180 pounds or more. Finding Tibetan Mastiff purebreds is difficult, since the breed is so rare. A purebred Tibetan Mastiff is typically at risk of being "poached" by breeders.
China's Tibetan Mastiff costs
The Communist Party of China used to bad the ownership of dogs as pets. The Party considered owning a dog a sign of the "bourgeois" society. Though dog ownership isn't banned anymore, it does take at least $ 100 and several months to get them licensed and registered. Dogs must be registered with the neighborhood committee and police security bureau. The yearly registration renewal must include passport photos, registration documents, even proof of home ownership. On top of the high cost of a purebred Mastiff, these additional costs make owning a dog as a pet a huge financial investment.
Will the status symbol put the pets at risk?
Because of their status as a symbol more than a pet, some Mastiffs are seen as being in danger. The couple that purchased the dog known as Yangtze River Number Two keeps their $ 600,000 dog in a cage. The obsession with Tibetan Mastiffs is called "dangerous" by the International Center for Veterinary Services in Beijing. The Centre notes that most of these "pets" are kept in cages and put on display more than treated like pets. Breeders and owners dispute this claim, pointing out that keeping a Tibetan Mastiff takes extensive care.
