AppearanceKumaon Mastiff is a large dog with fairly lean, muscular, well-boned bodies. They have a large powerful head and a strong neck. They have a short, soft coat that always comes in brindle, ranging from dark to light shades. They may also have white markings. The average height of these dogs is 28 inches.[2] Their appearance has been described to be similar to old Great Danes.[2] TemperamentThey are aggressive dogs and need training. These dogs have great guarding ability and they show protective instinct against strangers and intruders. [3]Endangered breedIt is estimated that only 150-200 individuals of this breed exist in its country of origin, India [4] in the distant interiors of the Kumaon hills, Uttarakhand. A greater population of these dogs may be present in Europe,[5] particularly in Italy and Finland[2] where it was introduced by breeders who took the breed to Europe in the late 19th century.
