Description of a Bisben.
The ancient Bisben Sheepdog is related to other Himalayan breeds and is sometimes mistakenly seen as a type of the Tibetan Mastiff. One of the key distinguishing features of the Bisben dog is its lupoid head, which is nothing like the common mastiff head type associated with its regional cousins.
There are numerous theories about the origin of the Bisben breed, but the most popular is that it is a result of matings between the wolves and sheepdogs.
