Cockapoo versus Tibetan Mastiff

Cockapoo versus Tibetan Mastiff: Overview

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

Furthermore, the Cockapoo belongs to the Hybrid Dogs group. Hybrid Dogs are the offspring of 2 or more known, but different, dog breeds.

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.
