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

Furthermore, the Goldador 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.
