Tibetan Terrier

General Description

The Tibetan Terrier is a cheerful, curly haired dog. Their dark-colored eyes are hard to see because of the long hair covering most of their face. Even their short muzzle is hidden by a beard which is usually a gray color on black Tibetan Terriers. The breed’s ears are also completely covered by its long soft hair. They have broad bodies and legs, but most of the width comes from the abundance of hair covering them. Their tails should sit on their back and their hair flies off both sides. The hair on their face and tail is long and straight. However, the bulk of the hair covering the body and legs is medium in length and curly.

The Tibetan Terrier is loving and gentle. They love to be around their owners all the time and dislike being at home alone. They are often wary with strangers and can be very stubborn but are loyal to their family. Tibetan Terriers prefer older children and do not get along with dominate dogs. The breed will bark a lot and often to guard his property and family. Overall, however, they are perky and intelligent.

History

The Tibetan Terrier has a long history in Tibet.  They were first bred by the country’s monks and were given away as good luck gifts.  The breed actually was used to develop other well-known breeds from the area, including the Tibetan Spaniel and Lhasa Apso.  After the Dalai Lama gave a Tibetan Terrier to Dr. A. R. H. Grieg, the breed was brough to England and was bred.  Eventually, the dog was brought to the United States where it has become a popular companion.

Maintenance

The Tibetan Terrier requires heavy grooming. They need to be brushed every two days because they are prone to tangles. When they are brushed, their coat needs to be moist. They should also be bathed once a week, plus the hair in their ears and on their paws should be trimmed regularly. The dogs can also be trimmed so they have less hair in summer. This also makes them easier to groom. If groomed properly, they shed no hair. Even though the Tibetan Terrier is not a large dog, it has quite a bit of energy and should be walked regularly. It also needs chances to run.

Ideal Environment

The Tibetan Terrier is a fun loving family dog that can deal with almost any environment. They can live in a house or in an apartment as long as they get enough exercise. The breed is good with older children but is often dominant around other dogs. They can live with other animals and are a good companion for older people. While they need lots of attention from people, they are not usually good with strangers. Tibetan Terriers should have an owner who can be at home often with them, because they dislike being at home alone.

They need open space to excercise and play. So don't lock it up on a confined area for too long.

Post Response
I have seen a puppy with an umbilical hernia. Is this common in this breed?
It appears that an umbilical hernia is an inherited trait. The puppy most likely got it from its parents or grandparents. I don’t think it’s specific to this breed.
That's not always true. This could just be a disorder. I have puppy with a hernia and neither mother nor father had one. Also neither grandmother or father had one either. So, it is not something inherited
Post Response
can you clip their tails as with old english sheep dogs?
You can, although this is not very common.
