We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Labradoodle and the Tibetan Mastiff.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Labradoodle or the Tibetan Mastiff.
Labradoodle versus Tibetan Mastiff: Overview
A very important difference between the Labradoodle and the Tibetan Mastiff is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Labradoodle is a large-sized dog while the Tibetan Mastiff is a giant-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Labradoodle 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.
Labradoodle versus Tibetan Mastiff: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Labradoodle 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.

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 Labradoodle and the Tibetan Mastiff so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.
