  1. I had four TTs. My favorite breed. Three of the four died of cancer: age 7, 11.5 and 16.5. One of Battens Disease at age 14. Battens Disease I hear has been bred out. Thre three that died of cancer were related: Same father, different mother (2), same grandparents (2).

  2. They are called "holy dogs" because the monks believed they were 1/3 dog, 1/3 cat and 1/3 human. It has nothing to do with guarding the monastery. Best dog EVER! Mine is 8 years old, weighs 18 lbs. She is so smart and so sweet. Everyone loves her and wants to keep her.

  3. How ridiculous that they say TTs may have a propensity to obesity…they can only get fat if their owner over-feeds them. Not the dog's fault in the least.

  4. This breed is Not a terrier, there are many inaccuracies in this informational description of the breed. I had a Tibetan terrier for 10 yrs. Fabulous dogs. But this information is misleading not correct. Thx

  5. Tibetan Terriers are NOT terriers – terrier was added to the name due to its size but other than that there is no other comparison between the two breeds. I am a first time owner with mobility issues and have not had any problems and would say they make wonderful companion for a 1st time owner. Not very impressed with the information in this video and will stick to known experts for information.

  6. No problem with obesity. They don’t over eat. The mountains in Tibet required them to be athletic and agile. They know when they have eaten enough.
    Trust them.
    They are also heard dogs, which should be mentioned.
