The Tibetan Terrier is a medium-sized dog breed known for its long, flowing coat and friendly disposition. Despite its name, it is not a true terrier but was originally bred by Tibetan monks as a companion and watchdog. These dogs are known for their agility and intelligence, making them excellent family pets. Tibetan Terriers are typically around 14 to 17 inches tall and weigh between 20 to 24 pounds. They have a distinctive appearance with a broad head and a tail that curls over their back. Their coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting and to keep it healthy.
