In Tibet, this breed was
considered good luck and prosperity to those privileged enough to own one.
Raised by the Tibetan Monks, who called them "little people",
they
were never sold, but given as gifts. This little breed was worshipped as a
sacred animal and guardian of
Temples. It was believed
that when a Tibetan Monk died, he came back as a Tibetan Terrier.
The Tibetan made its' way to England where it was officially recognized in 1930
and was named the Tibetan
Terrier. It is important to understand that this in not a terrier as we
know it but was named that because of its' size.
Still a rare breed, the average person still does not realize what a wonderful and loyal companion the Tibetan Terrier is.
We, at All My FUR Children, feel that you will be as amazed at this breed as we are (three of them currently sleep with us). This hypo-allergenic, non-shedding dog will make a perfect addition to any family.
