The Tibetan terrier is a confident, happy and intelligent family dog.
It should be a part of your family and not ignored or left alone for long periods of time. It is totally devoted to its family.

It is a good watchdog and it can always tell you, with its bark, when guests are arriving - but fortunately it stops barking as soon as the family has "accepted" the guests. 

The Tibetan terrier is a healthy dog, that's not often sick. It is not unusual to find a Tibetan Terrier that lives to 17 or 18 years old.

Height ca. 35-41 cm.

Weight ca. 8 - 14 kg.

The Tibetan Terrier is small enough to live in a flat in the city, and hardy enough to live a more outdoor life in the country. Its size and temperament make it well suited in the role of a family dog.

Many owners of Tibetan Terriers claims that their dogs have humour. And I have to agree....
But it's very hard to explain it to people, who never have meet a TT. Its like there lives a little clown inside most TTs and sometimes they will do things, where you can't find any logical explanation, other than they just did it to fool around.

With a Tibetan Terrier in the house, you will soon feel that you got a precious treasure indoor.  They have a very unique personality, which soon captures most people. Their devotion towards their two-legged family, has to warm the coldest heart. Once you lived with a TT, it's hard to imagine a life without.
