Despite its extremely friendly and affectionate nature, the Tibetan terrier is an excellent guard dog that reliably strikes. He is never aggressive towards strangers, but is extremely vigilant and indicates an imaginary danger by barking, which can increase in volume when real danger is imminent. The Tibetan terrier almost never barks without a reason, it has always had a specific reason that the owner should take seriously.
The Nature of The Tibet Terrier
In the house, he is usually very quiet and likes to cuddle with family members. However, he is also very active and extremely playful. He loves playing with his toys, especially when family members or other people he knows well are involved. He also likes to play with older children who are a little more mature and responsible towards him. He is a bit cautious with smaller children, as they often tend to treat the Tibetan Terrier a little too roughly.
He is usually very social with other pets, especially if he has grown up with them. In general, the extremely active Tibetan terrier is a very sociable dog that prefers to stay with its family and should be involved in all family activities if possible. He is sensitive, loyal, and cheerful, but quickly becomes sad if he is not integrated and then turns away in resignation.
Because he has a lot of stamina and energy, the Tibetan terrier needs long daily walks and a fenced exercise area, but should not be left alone in the garden. On the way, he does his best to escape again and again. The leash is therefore mandatory for the Tibetan Terrier. Although the Tibetan terrier has a mind of his own and sometimes tends to be stubborn, the athletic and strong dog is very capable of learning and tries to please his mistress or master by quickly implementing tricks that he has learned.
Breed Characteristics
The Tibetan Terrier is between 35 and 40 centimeters tall and weighs up to 11 kilograms. Its fur consists of a long, fine, slightly wavy top coat and a soft, woolly undercoat. Its coat color is black, white, gold, brown, fawn, gray, red, silver, or a combination of these colors.
This is How He is Cared For
The Tibetan Terrier sheds almost no hair and therefore only needs to be brushed occasionally.
Origins
The Tibetan Terrier is one of the oldest dog breeds. In Tibet, it was kept in monasteries and in the fields as a guard and herding dog. Despite the name, he is not related to other terriers. The first Tibetan Terriers came to Europe at the beginning of the 20th century.
