Tibetan Terrier - Essential Details To Know

The Tibetan Terrier, also called the "Tsang
Apso", belongs to the non-sporting dog category.
They feature a shaggy coat that comes in almost
any color. The breed is assumed to have first
appeared in Tibet about 2,000 years ago.
Providing companionship or acting as good luck
charms is the reason they were initially bred
for. These days they are a popular choice as a
companion for families with older children.
Qualities such as their sensitive nature and
low-shedding shaggy coat are things they can be
characterized by. The breed is believed to have
been developed in Tibetan monasteries and their
earlier ancestors are unknown dogs that are
among the most ancient of all breeds.

They are classed as a small to medium sized
breed. The suggested dimensions are 14-17 inches
tall with a weight of 18-30 pounds. They're
recognized for their sensitive, devoted and
independent personality. They're mostly reserved
with people they haven't met, but their size
means they are unsuitable as a guard dog. The
breed is identified as being fairly clever, and
scores 62nd compared with every other breed when
being taught new obedience instructions.

They're good towards kids, and that can make
them somewhat suitable (if the kids are older)
as a family pet. They do combine peacefully with
other animals like other dogs they are raised
with. Looking after their coat is a time
consuming assignment. They demand proper
grooming every 6 to 8 weeks, and moderate
brushing every couple of days. They prefer a
small backyard that gives them space to run
around, but can be suited to apartment life.

As is the case with a good number of small to
medium sized breeds, they are predominantly
longer-lived and have an expected life of 12-15
years. Their most worrying health issue is eye
problems, and they can also be susceptible to
hip dysplasia or allergies. Hobbies such as
agility, running or even herding will keep them
entertained. To avoid bad behavior, they demand
short walks every day because of their moderate
level of energy.

You need to be willing to spend time socializing
them properly and give them lots of attention if
you own the Tibetan Terrier. They're not an
ideal choice for families with younger children,
but a good choice for families with older
children or allergy sufferers. Here are just a
few qualities you may be attracted to about the
Tibetan Terrier:

1. This dog has been very appealing for a lot of
dog owners, and one of the most significant
reasons why is it has a lovable appearance and
temperament.

2. One other good thing about them is their long
shaggy coat actually sheds very little and makes
them suitable for allergy sufferers.

3. People also love them seeing as they may even
bring you good luck as the Tibetan monks once
believed.
