Tibetan Terrier
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN Tibet.
MOST SUITED AS - Family pet.
SIZE
The shoulder-height is 35.5 - 43cm (14 - 17in) for dogs. The bitches are slightly smaller.
COAT
The Tibetan Terrier has a double coat: the topcoat is long, luxuriant, fine, and either straight or wavy; the undercoat is dense and woolly. The colours are black, white, various shades of beige or grey, and multi-coloured.
CARE REQUIRED
To prevent tangles and to remove loose hair, it is necessary to brush this dog every day. Do not overlook those places where tangles form most readily, such as beneath the leg joints, the beard, and the hindquarters. Bath regularly and remove excess hair from the ear passages. Clip any build-up of hair between the pads of the feet.
CHARACTER
Beneath the cuddly appearance this is a tough, brave dog, that is lively, vigilant, equable, intelligent, noble, and cheerful. They are dedicated to their handler and some what cautious with strangers, and can be dominant towards other dogs. They do not cope well with being left alone.
TRAINING
Train them in a calm, equable manner. They are sensitive by nature and react very well to the intonation of your voice.
SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
In company with other dogs, this breed can be rather dominant. They need to be socially trained when young with cats and other household animals if they are to live in harmony with them. Provided children do not pester them, it will in turn cause no problem for them.
EXERCISE
This breed has LOTS of energy and must have regular opportunities to enjoy itself. Agility skills trials and fly-ball are great activities for them.
