The Himalayan Sheepdog, known locally by various names including the Bhote, Bangara or Gaddi Kutta, and sometimes called the Himalayan Mastiff, is a breed of livestock guardian dog from the Himalayas, covering India.[1][2][3][4][5] The Himalayan Sheepdog is found in the Himalayan foothills from eastern Nepal to Kashmir.[4][5][6] The breed is primarily used as a livestock guardian dog, protecting flocks of yak and sheep from various predators, and as a property guardian dog; unusually for a livestock guardian, the breed is also used to assist with herding.[4][5][6] The Himalayan Sheepdog is also used to assist in hunting.[6]
