"If mastiffs are guns, then a Tibetan mastiff will be a gun that could be easily discharged accidentally." That's according to Yang Yibo, who runs an online forum for fans of the dog in China.
The remarks were made two years ago to describe the unpredictable and aggressive nature of the breed, but now they also sound appropriate for the country's Tibetan mastiff market.
According to the Tibetan Mastiff Association, there were 95 Tibetan mastiff farms in Tibet with almost 10,000 dogs sold annually before 2012. Now only 66 farms survive, with 3,000 of the exotic breed sold last year.
Earlier this year, animal rights activists in Beijing were reported to have saved 21 Tibetan mastiffs and 150 other dogs from a truck heading to a slaughterhouse where the animals would have been sold for 5 dollars per head.
The shaggy, lion-like mastiffs are native to Tibet and the neighboring Qinghai province. They were traditionally used as shepherds and watchdogs by herders and known for a loyal but fierce disposition.

LeVision Pictures, an affiliate of the Chinese streaming company LeTV, has announced that it will work with film director Tsui Hark on innovative filmmaking.
According to LeVision, the Silicon Valley based-media tech lab will help incorporate more pervasive media into China's movies.
Tsui Hark's "The Taking of Tiger Mountain" earned more than 880 million yuan, roughly 140 million U.S. dollars. The director said more should be done in China to advance film making, especially considering its large population. He said it was likely he would use smartphones to shoot movies in the future.
LeVision has already hired renowned Chinese director Zhang Yimou, who was behind the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the upcoming film "Great Wall".
The company said the participation of the two directors is expected to result in more movies for LeTV, which also unveiled three smartphones recently.

中国猛犬俱乐部论坛的负责人杨一博说，“如果说猛犬是一把枪，那么藏獒就是一把特别容易走火的枪。”
这是他两年前形容藏獒不可预估的攻击本性时所说，而这些话现在用来形容中国的藏獒市场也很合适。
根据藏獒协会的数据，2012年以前，西藏养殖藏獒的商户数量高达95家，每年能卖出近1万只藏獒。现在商户数量仅剩66家，去年只卖出3000只。
据报道，今年早些时候，北京动物权益保护人士拦下了一辆运往屠宰场的卡车，救下了21只藏獒和另外150只狗，原本它们可能会以5美元一只的价格出售给屠宰场。
鬃毛丰厚、长得像狮子的藏獒产于西藏和邻省青海省。藏獒历来被牧民用作牧羊犬和看门狗，因忠实又凶猛而闻名。
