西藏梗 Tibetan Terrier

The Tibetan Terrier, 'Holy Dog of Tibet,' is an ancient watchdog and companion long associated with Buddhist monasteries. A profusely coated, small-to-medium-sized dog with 'snowshoe' feet, the TT is affectionate, sensitive, and clever.

Bearing a passing resemblance to their smaller cousin, the Lhasa Apso, Tibetan Terriers reside at the lower end of medium-sized breeds, standing about 15 inches at the shoulder and weighing between 20 and 24 pounds. A breed hallmark is the beautiful and profuse double coat'¿wooly underneath, with a long, fine topcoat. TTs are unique among dogs for their large, flat 'snowshoe' feet, adapted over centuries to help them negotiate the snowy, mountainous terrain of their homeland.
