Tibetan Breeds
In this category you will find information on dog breeds in the "Tibetan" group.
The Tibetan Terrier has always been a companion dog. That’s probably why to this day the Tibetan Terrier enjoys people so much. He is a happy, outgoing dog. They are extremely agile. They can use their paws like cats to wash, catch, hold and even bat at tennis balls. They are usually quiet and when they do bark, it starts out low and rises to a high pitch.
The Tibetan Spaniel is intelligent and loving. He’s not a lap dog, even though he’s small. He’s a brave watchdog and likes to take walks and play. Tibetan Spaniels get along well with other animals, especially other dogs.
The silky Shih Tzu is sweet and playful. He’s also got plenty of spunk. He’s not afraid to stand up for himself, though he usually gets along nicely with strangers and other animals. The Shih Tzu seems especially to dislike hot weather. The coat of the Shih Tzu needs daily grooming.
Lhasas don’t expect to be pampered. They are protective of their people and care for them in a dignified but loving manner. In obedience training, positive, repetitive lessons will win the Lhasa over. The Lhasa can be playful and spirited, but also independent.
