One mastiff fights a liger, three mastiffs sink an aircraft carrier, five mastiffs destroy God, and ten mastiffs create a century. I believe that netizens will see this kind of criticism under long articles praising Tibetan mastiffs. In recent years, the enthusiasm for Tibetan mastiffs by the majority of mastiff lovers is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and can even be compared with the hit "Legend of Bruce Lee" back then.

In 2009, an ordinary Tibetan mastiff was speculated to a sky-high price of 7.5 million yuan. It was known as the most expensive Tibetan mastiff in Sichuan. This Tibetan mastiff named "Tianlong" finally sold for 2 million yuan. They were packed up and sold, and died within a few years. Looking at it from today's perspective, Tibetan Mastiffs are no longer noble and mysterious "luxury accessories." Many senior Tibetan Mastiff fans have withdrawn from the Tibetan Mastiff circle and just treat Tibetan Mastiffs as watchdogs.

Why were Tibetan Mastiffs so hot with bare hands in the past few years? According to analysis, most men raise Tibetan Mastiffs. Boys have a strong desire to conquer deep down in their hearts. Owning a majestic pet can be understood as a fascination with wildness. In addition, it is expensive and can be used as a "luxury accessory" to show off. In addition, the Tibetan Mastiff's bloodline history is relatively old and is not the product of hybridization of other species in modern times.

Accompanied by the mysterious veil of the Tibetan Mastiff, for example, it has ancient bloodline, is tall and fierce, and comes from Tibet, Qinghai, etc. in the southwest border of my country. In essence, hyping Tibetan mastiffs is the same as hyping some Pu'er tea and mahogany furniture. They have a certain value in themselves. After adding the hype, they are endowed with magical cultural connotations, causing their prices to soar and reach high standards.

In those years, senior Tibetan mastiff players, including celebrities and rich people, kept more than a dozen Tibetan mastiffs. After exchanges across the country, now only one Tibetan mastiff is left at home to guard the house, and the rest have been auctioned off.

Nowadays, the mystery of Tibetan Mastiff no longer exists, and the exclusive nobility no longer exists. It is not too much to say that it is different from the past. Today's Tibetan Mastiff is no longer a representative of "luxury accessories", it is just an ordinary pet in the home. The most expensive one is only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and the cheapest one is only a hundred yuan.

This huge gap is also worthy of our thinking. Is it the Tibetan Mastiff that we are really pursuing, or is it the feeling that the Tibetan Mastiff brings to us, or is it driven by certain emotions? The Chinese people should face up to their own behavior, otherwise the tragedy of the Tibetan Mastiff will happen again in other forms or even a vicious cycle.
