Tibetan Terrier Dog Breed - Everything You Need To Know

[@shirleyjones4480]

My tibetan will be 16 in a few months. He's the best dog I ever had. He was easy to train, and he trained my maltesse who passed away last yr. They adored each other. He's almost totally blind and deaf and sleeps constantly, but he still loves his walks and his hugs. He has always been a big pleaser.

I just lost my sweet precious boy TT. I met him online and fell in love when I saw his baby picture. I drove to Missouri and brought him home. He gave me the happiest years of my life. My heart is hurting and broken. This is the best breed!!! So loyal and sweet. I will never get over him. 💔💔💔

I had a TT for 15 years. She was great; loved my mom, cat and me to no end. She was very friendly with strangers and other dogs.

[@leanrambles7468]

Hi, is it true they are all high energy?

[@hannoveraner.quengel5221]

@@leanrambles7468 Many, but not all of them :) My girl has always been rather calm and now that she is fully trained and grown up she mostly wants food and sleep😂

Can they be alone for a workday some days? Or, do you know if they do well at doggy daycare?

[@cheryldamico6210]

My TT mix passed away last year. He was my Soul, perfect dog for me. Big hole in my. heart. Very smart, had a variety of things we did together. I am in a w/c; to him it was part of me, weaving through things, totally comfortable, Fit in w/ my son's 2 very large dogs; excellent w/people, children. I am looking for one now.

I’ve had Lhasa Apsos for years… these dogs look like a bigger Lhasa. So cute!

[@rhondaanderson]

I’ve had 4 TTS and I’ve loved all of them. An uncommon dog breed that is the best ever! I love them to pieces! I groom them myself by brushing and I have my own clippers to clean up the hindquarters and face.

i had one of those dogs when i was little her name was lily and she was the sweetest thing ever she was like honey as a dog

[@debbieharber6550]

I have 2 who are sisters ..never had this breed b4 ...I’m in love with them and would have another 2 tomorrow ..they are very loving and affectionate dogs who hate being on their own which make them great company when you live by yourself...only downside I have found is don’t leave them on their own any longer than 4 hours in the day ...they do sleep on their own together at night fine though ..they say not good guard dogs but believe me ..they never miss anything and are not dogs that bark at everything like my other dog who is border terrier

[@laurieparrett9316]

That was a pretty decent overview!

The best dogs in the world. Important to mention is that this dog should be handled as though it were a large dog… you could easily mistake them for pooches but these are fierce, brave and tenacious working dogs at the base (especially the Lamleh descendants).

[@lilyskatez]

Hi people! I am getting my Tibetan terrier in 5 days! I am so excited! This video was very helpful. But I just wanted to ask if anyone had a last bit of advice for me! Cuz I’m kinda nervous even tho I have done all the possible research I can! Just wondering if anyone could help from personal experiences or something! 🙃🥰

[@dishuman1993]

Hi! I own a TT! If you have ever had a toddler....well you’ll have another one. They can either be extremely hard work (like a 3 year old child), bouncy, energetic, nippy maniacs or they will be calm, fairly quiet, obedient and gentle. Tibetan Terriers mature slower than other dogs so their puppyhood is longer than say a Labrador. Mine wants to climb on everything and anything and he run up near vertical hills when we are walking. My dog is very good with other dogs and he’d never, ever bite a dog but thats because we socialised him with dogs. We got our boy in lockdown so he never got proper human socialisation so he is wary and sometimes a bit naughty. TTs are not like what everyone tells you. Ok I’ve spoken enough about their ‘bad traits’ now on to the good ones! They are good on the lead They are very protective over their owners so you will feel ok walking at night They have the most beautiful eyes Their coat is a lot of work but it’s beautiful They are a pretty rare breed They are very cuddly They are very intelligent and athletic They tend to be good around other dogs They aren’t super destructive dogs They are a good size They aren’t prone to much health issues if you get from a good breeder and don’t let you dog so down stairs, up stairs or go on long walks until they are at least 6 months old (if you are walking is 5 minutes for every month of their life) You don’t have to worry about them getting cold They toilet train easy They are fabulous companions. Please never, ever, ever hit your TT or use shock collars or force to train your Tibetan Terrier (TT). If you want to be successful with training go to Julie Hindle, join TT forums and follow other Tibetan Terriers on social media. You also want to come to an ‘agreement’ with your dog so they behave. They aren’t actually Terriers! Oh and most importantly.... NEVER FEED AFTER MIDNIGHT! It would be great if you have Instagram to follow @Forrest_Tibetan_Terrier Enjoy your Tibetan Terrier! Xxx

[@EmilyParton]

Why??

[@annfarnell1642]

I had four TTs. I love the breed but it is hard to find them. Their price now (2021) is minimally $2000.00 in the US.

[@Techie_ASMR]

here in Sri Lanka, you can get them like 250 USD.. Certified healthy puppies. I guess it s the economical difference.

You will adore this puppy but they need time with you and attention. You cannot leave them alone nor let them off their leash. This is a Magnificent Magical Puppy. They are very expensive and you will quickly learn why.

[@Lionforaday]

Training a dog costs $150 - $175? How did you come-up with that figure? Are you referring to a puppy-training course? Certainly hiring a trainer would be very expensive. It might be good to say what you mean by this. Also, I don't know where you live, but here in Canada, a simple ear infection will set you back $240. I've never been to the vet for under $100, even for a check-up. Other questions I'd have liked addressed. Is the breed hypoallergenic? I'm a doctor, so please no lectures on how no breed is truly *non-allergenic* - some breeds are LESS-allergenic (hypo- means under or less-than), and I ask bc I have allergies to most dogs, yet do fine with breeds that don't shed much, and are considered "hypoallergenic," such as poodles, Maltese, Yorkies, shih tzu, etc. Lastly, I'm wondering if they bark excessively? This would be something a lot of people would want to know, as it's a common reason for dogs being re-homed. My shih tzu was quiet as a church mouse, while a friend of mine has a Lhasa Apso - she learned the hard way that the translation of that is, "barking sentinel dog"! If there are any TT owners or breeders reading this, I'd love to hear from you, especially about the fur, as above, and the barkiness factor! Cheers.

[@taysikanen]

Hi! I live in a household with my partner, who is allergic to dogs. We have long coated TT male. I don't know about hypo, but with TT there are couple of advantages: 1. It seems that they don't shed (not a single dog hair on our couch, despite our TT sleeping on it often) 2. TT's need to be washed & groomed often, and washing dog regularry is a good way to reduce how much symptoms dogs cause. We wash our dog every 2 weeks. If the time between the extends for some reason close to 3 weeks, my partner is getting some symptoms. 3. Long haired TT craves cool environments, so they are not too keen to hang out on your lap / sleep next to you, which reduces the symptoms. I think barking depends on an individual. TT's I know (around 10 individuals) barks pretty much never, but I've read from some other owners that their TTs bark. That being said, I'd say they certainly are talkative. They have very unique way to communicate (you can find plenty of videos by searching "tibetan terrier talks") and while it's adorable, one should really consider whether they want to reinforce talking. I taught our TT to give paw when he wants scratches and poke with his head when he wants yummies. Talking is his signal that he needs to go out. I would also add that TTs develope separation anxiety easily, and in that case they can howl. That's why it's very important to teach them to be alone. To make sure you get a dog that fits your needs best, make sure to get to know the parents and their tendency to bark.

[@murraykawchuk3065]

Mine seems to be hypoallergenic. Very little shedding (almost zero.) Barking: he sounds the alarm when he hears noises that he regards as threatening (different dog , Coyotes howling, doorbell, etc.) And when he smells bears, passing wolf. Not at all overly noisy- just very watchful. You MUST show them who is alpha. Reinforce this weekly, not in a mean way but in a firm living way. E.g. conduct some training with treats. If they don't know that you are boss, they can be stubborn, because they are smart!! Very clever.

[@tracywood9579]

Get yaself a goldfish my friends got a tiibet and he's a naughty boy

[@murraykawchuk3065]

If naughty, some thoughts: * they MUST know who is alpha. If they think that they are boss, TT can appear mischievous and stubborn. Ensure that you (kindly) reinforce who is alpha. Simple training with treats and ear rubs. Give command, dog obeys, reward. * exercise. If they don't get ~30 to 45 minutes brisk walk per day, they van get naughty. * mental stimulation. TTs are smart and need a job, problem to solve. If they are bored, they can get mischievous. E.g. I play hide n seek with mine. He loves it when I chase him around yard or house. Good luck!
