Tibetan Terrier Dog Breed Information

Born in Tibet long ago, a Tibetan terrier dog is not a terrier at all; instead, it is an affectionate and friendly companion dog that is found in Buddhist monasteries where it enjoys the quiet atmosphere and the friendly people. They are not like other pets; they are one of the special dog breeds that exist today.

In the early part of the 20th century, this friendly shaggy-haired dog was brought to Europe, where it was soon bred for family life rather than for dog sports. Watch any cute puppy clip online, and you will see the lovely Tibetan terrier temperament that has become so popular.
