Basenji versus Tibetan Mastiff

Basenji versus Tibetan Mastiff: Overview

A very important difference between the Basenji and the Tibetan Mastiff is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Basenji is a small-sized dog while the Tibetan Mastiff is a giant-sized dog.

Furthermore, the Basenji belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell. Dogs that belong to the Hound Group have strong prey drives and often will stop at nothing to catch what they are pursuing.

On the other hand, the Tibetan Mastiff belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.

Basenji versus Tibetan Mastiff: Comparison Table

The table below compares the Basenji to the Tibetan Mastiff based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.

When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets

Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.

However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.

Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Basenji and the Tibetan Mastiff

    Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Basenji in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Tibetan Mastiff. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.

    The Better-Pet score for the Basenji is 83 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Tibetan Mastiff is 77 out of 125.

    Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Basenji is a better pet than the Tibetan Mastiff. So, you should get the Basenji!

    Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Basenji and the Tibetan Mastiff so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.

    Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Basenji puppy or the Tibetan Mastiff puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.

    Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.

    Health Problems of Basenji versus Health Problems of Tibetan Mastiff

    Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.

    Both the Basenji and the Tibetan Mastiff are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.

    The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.

    Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Basenji is prone to more genetic health problems than the Tibetan Mastiff.

    This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Basenji than for the Tibetan Mastiff.

    6 health tests are recommended for Basenji while 4 tests are recommended for the Tibetan Mastiff.

    Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Basenjis and in Tibetan Mastiffs.

    Basenji Health Problems

    Basenjis are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Basenji puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.

    The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.

    If you want a Basenji puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Basenji breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.

    The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Basenjis for:

  • Autoimmune thyroiditis
  • Basenji Night Blindness / PRA DNA Test
  • Eye Examination each year until 6, thereafter every 2 years
  • Fanconi syndrome
  • Hip Dysplasia
  • OFA/U of Missouri
  • You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Basenjis here.

    Tibetan Mastiff Health Problems

    Tibetan Mastiffs are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Tibetan Mastiff puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.

    The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.

    If you want a Tibetan Mastiff puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Tibetan Mastiff breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.

    The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Tibetan Mastiffs for:

  • Autoimmune thyroiditis
  • Elbow Dysplasia
  • Eye Examination
  • Hip Dysplasia
  • You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Tibetan Mastiffs here.

    More Discussions on Health Problems in Basenjis and Tibetan Mastiffs

    Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Basenji Breed is Fanconi Syndrome problems.

    This is because the Basenji ranks 1 out of 1 dog breeds for Fanconi Syndrome problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 10339 Basenjis, 330 of them had Fanconi Syndrome problems.

    The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Basenjis, and how common these diseases are in Basenjis relative to other dog breeds, are given below:

  • Fanconi Syndrome problems: Rank 1 out of 1 Dog Breeds
  • Progressive Retinal Atrophy problems: Rank 5 out of 32 Dog Breeds
  • Eyes problems: Rank 12 out of 182 Dog Breeds
  • Thyroid problems: Rank 48 out of 115 Dog Breeds
  • Elbow problems: Rank 90 out of 144 Dog Breeds
  • Patella problems: Rank 106 out of 145 Dog Breeds
  • Hips problems: Rank 177 out of 198 Dog Breeds
  • Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Tibetan Mastiff Breed is Thyroid problems.

    This is because the Tibetan Mastiff ranks 15 out of 115 dog breeds for Thyroid problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 196 Tibetan Mastiffs, 18 of them had Thyroid problems.

    The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Tibetan Mastiffs, and how common these diseases are in Tibetan Mastiffs relative to other dog breeds, are given below:

  • Thyroid problems: Rank 15 out of 115 Dog Breeds
  • Elbow problems: Rank 27 out of 144 Dog Breeds
  • Hips problems: Rank 61 out of 198 Dog Breeds
  • The table below lists the common health problems in Basenji and in Tibetan Mastiff and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Basenji and the Tibetan Mastiff:

    Disease Basenji Rank Tibetan Mastiff Rank
    Fanconi Syndrome problems 1 out of 1 dog breeds Not Common
    Progressive Retinal Atrophy problems 5 out of 32 dog breeds Not Common
    Eyes problems 12 out of 182 dog breeds Not Common
    Thyroid problems 48 out of 115 dog breeds 15 out of 115 dog breeds
    Elbow problems 90 out of 144 dog breeds 27 out of 144 dog breeds
    Patella problems 106 out of 145 dog breeds Not Common
    Hips problems 177 out of 198 dog breeds 61 out of 198 dog breeds

    *To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.

    Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
