This distinct breed was developed recently in the Tehri Garhwal district in the Uttarakhand State of India. It received its name, the Bangar Mastiff or Bangara Mastiff, from its place of origin. An Indian army major by the name of Major W.V. Soman created the breed in 1963 by mixing the native Bhutia Dog with other native dogs. Initially, they were used by local people for herding yak and sheep, and for protecting the villagers from ferocious wild animals like leopards, wolves, etc.
