These Mastiffs-which are cousins to the Pyrenean Mountain Dog- and the Chow-but which ahave thicker and shaggier coats-are thought to be the first of this breed to be sent to the United States... They are a ferocious breed-and are difficult to train..During the time they stayed at the home of Mr N.P. Thapa, the Nepalese Foreign Secretary-the dogs ate nearly pounds of meat and drank ten pints of milk-every day.. This pair was brought from Kyerong, Tibet...
