The largest of the breed weighs nearly 220 pounds (100 kg)

They cannot trive here. Tibetan mastiff. They live high up in tibet and are used as guard and cattle dogs.... really, they need very big land. Want one? Try and fork out about RM12k to import one here....

That is excluding maintenance

Yah... coz it's a large breed, shipping is expensive and then it is rarely bred in some countries so their prices can be high... so agak agak 12k loh....

Just go for the dogs that are available here. I mean, if get those mountain dogs, they have full double coats for cold weather. Unless we groom them everyday and let them have a cool air cond room, they can survive with their full coat here. If we don't give care specifically for their breed, later fur not nice, thin and dull... the dog might become bored and destructive.
