Five Facts About Tibetan Terriers
- Despite its name, the Tibetan terrier is not part of the terrier group. The name was given to the dog by (who else) Europeans, as the dog reminded it of terriers back home.
- Tibetan terriers have a double coat, with a warm undercoat and a long overcoat with the texture of human hair. (The dog in the photo, Brady, has been clipped. There are photos of additional Tibetans here.)
- Tibetan terriers are among the most gentle, friendly dogs there are. They are usually reserved around strangers, but are an excellent family dog due to their reserved nature.
- Recent DNA analysis has shown Tibetan terriers to be among the oldest of dog breeds.
- Tibetan terriers are cute!
