Overview:
The Tibetan Terrier, often called the "Holy Dog of Tibet," hails from the remote monasteries of Tibet, where they were revered as companions to monks and herders, not true terriers in the hunting sense. These charming dogs boast a distinctive, shaggy double coat – a soft, woolly undercoat and a fine, long outer coat – that provided insulation in harsh climates and comes in a variety of colors. Physically, they are medium-sized with expressive eyes and often sport a characteristic forelock. Temperamentally, Tibetan Terriers are known for being intelligent, loyal, and surprisingly agile. They are generally good with children and other pets, making them suitable for active families. Their adaptable nature also means they can thrive in apartment living provided they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation. While generally a healthy breed with a lifespan of 12-15 years, potential owners should be aware of possible genetic predispositions to conditions such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) and luxating patellas. Regular grooming is essential to maintain their beautiful coat and prevent matting.
