Written by one of the world's most respected authorities on Tibetan breeds, Juliette Cunliffe, a British native living in Tibet, this introductory guide to the Tibetan Terrier offers a rare look into this mystical canine from Land of Snows. Unlike any other dog, the Tibetan Terrier, a member of the AKC Non-Sporting Group, is not a terrier, but rather a fun-loving companion dog prized for his snowshoed feet, his hardy constitution, and his profuse coat covering his deep brown eyes, giving him an expression that reveals his true exuberant personality. With years of experience as an international judge and owner of the Tibetan breeds, the author provides a complete historical overview of the breed in its native land, where it was regarded as a talisman of great value, as well as in the United Kingdom and the United States. The extensive coverage of the breed in America is accompanied by historical photographs of the dogs that made the most lasting impact on the breed in this country. Filled with color photographs that capture the heart and spirit of this exceptional companion breed, this Comprehensive Owner's Guide provides up-to-date and informative chapters on the breed's characteristics, puppy selection, care, house-training and positive-motivational obedience training, healthcare, and much more.
