The Tibetan Terrier evolved over many centuries, surviving in Tibet's extreme climate and diffucult terrain. The breed developed a protective double coat, compact size, unique foot construction, and great agility. The Tibetan Terrier served as a steadfast, devoted companion in all of his owner's endeavors.
GENERAL APPERANCE
The Tibetan Terier is a medium-sized dog, profusely coated, of powerful build, and square in proportion. A fall of hair covers the eye and foreface. The well-feathered tail curls up and falls forward over the back. The feet are large, flat and round in shape producing a snowshoe effect that provides traction. The Tibetan Terrier is well balanced and capable of both strong and efficient movement. The Tibetan Terrier is shown as naturally as possible.
HEAD
Skull- Medium length neither broad nor coarse. The length from eye to the tip of the nose is equal to the length from eye to the occiput. The skull narrows slightly from ear to eye. It is not domed but not absolutely flat between ears. The head is well furnished with long hair, falling forward over the eyes and foreface. The cheekbones are curved but not so overdeveloped as to bulge.
Muzzle- The lower jaw has a small amount of beard
Stop- There is a marked stop but not exaggerated
Nose- Black Teeth- White, strong jaw between the canines. A tight scissor bite, a tight reverse scissor bite or a level bite are equally acceptable. A slightly undershot bite is acceptable.
Eyes- Large, set fairly wide apart, dark brown and may appear black in color, neither prominent nor sunken. Eye rims are dark in colour Ears- Pendant, falling not too close to the head, heavily feathered with a "V" shaped leather proportionate to the head. Faults- Weak pointed mizzle. Any color other than a black nose. Overshot bite or a very undershot bite or a wry mouth. Long narrowing head. Lack of fall over the eyes and foreface.
NECK AND BODY
Neck- Length proportionate to the body and head.
Body- Compact, square and strong, capable of both speed and endurance. Topline- The back is level in motion.
Chest- Heaviy furnished. The brisket extends downward to the top of elbow in mature Tibetan Terrier.
Ribs- The body is well ribbed up and never cloddy or coarse. The rib cage is not too wide across the chest and narrows slightly to permit the forelegs to work free at the sides.
Loin- Slightly arched
Tail- Medium length, heavily furnished, set on fairly high and falls forward over the back, may curl to either side. There may be a kink near the tip.
FOREQUARTERS
Shoulders- Sloping, well muscled and well laid back. Legs- Straight and strong when viewed from the front. Heavily furnished. The vertical distance from the withers to the elbow equals the distance from the elbows to the ground.
Feet- The feet of the Tibetan Terrier are unique in form among dogs. They are large flat and round in shape producing a snowshoe effect that provides traction. The pads are thick and strong. They are heavily furnished with hair between the toes and pads. Hair between the toes and pads may be trimmed level with the underside of the pads for health reason. Thedog should stand well down on ite pads.
HINDQUARTERS
Legs- Well furnished, with well bent stifles and the hindlegs are slightly longer than the forelegs Thighs- Relatively broad and well muscled
Hocks- Low set and turn neither in nor out
Feet- Same as forefeet
Dewclaws- May be removed
COAT
Double coat. Undercoat as soft and woolly. Outer coat is profuse and fine but never silky or woolly. May be wavy or straight. Coat is long but should not hang to the ground. When standing on a hard surface an area of light should be seen under the dog. The coat of puppies is shorter, single and often has a softer texture than that of adults. A natural part is often present over the neck and back. Fault- Lack of double coat in adults. Sculpturing, scissoring, stripping or shaving are totally contrary to the breed type and are serious faults.
COLOR
Any color or combination of color including white are acceptable to the breed. There are no prefered colors or combinations of colors.
GAIT
The Tibetan Terrier has a free, effortless stride with good reach in front and flexibility in the rear allowing full extension. When gaiting the hind legs should go neither inside nor outside the front legs but should move on the same track approaching single tracking when the dog is moved at a fast trot. The dog with the correct foot and leg construction moves with elasticity and drive indicating that the dog as capable of great agility as well as endurance.
SIZE
Average weight is 20 to 24 pounds, but the weight range may be 18 to 30 pounds. Proportion of weight to height is far more important than specific weight and should reflect a well-balanced square dog. The average height in dogs is 15 to 16 inches, bitches slightly smaller. The length, measured from the point of shoulder to the root of tail, is equal to the length measured from the highest point of the withers to the ground.
Faults- Any height above 17 inches of below 14 inches.
TEMPERAMENT
The Tibetan Terrier is highly intelligent, sensitive, loyal, devoted and affectionate. The breed may be cautious or reserved.
Fault- Extreme shyness
