According to the legend, the Tibetan Mastiff (which comes in any colour BUT white) was supposed to have been the foundation to all the LGDs in Europe, as well as all the mastiff breeds there. This was started in the early 1900s, however since then it has been proved false. --- Robyn Allwright --- Ziffany Great Pyrenees & Tibetan Mastiffs --- www.ziffany.com
