Even though these are purebred dogs, you may find them in the care of shelters or rescue groups. Tibetan Terriers require daily exercise and will enjoy a couple of 15-minute walks or one longer walk. Tibetan Terriers thrive on human companionship and do best in homes where they get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. Dogs who are highly sensitive, independent thinking, or assertive may be harder for a first-time dog parent to manage. You’ll get your best match if you take your dog-owning experience into account as you choose your new pooch. Although it’s nice for a Tibetan Terrier to have a securely fenced yard where he can play, it’s not a great idea to leave him out there for long periods.
Tibetan Terriers usually get along well with other dogs and cats, especially if they’re introduced to them in puppyhood. If all this grooming becomes too much for you, it’s kinder and less work to keep your TT in a cute puppy clip. Whatever his coat length, you’ll probably want to bathe your Tibetan Terrier at least monthly. He may need a bath more often if he plays outside frequently and gets dirty. Tibetan Terriers are adaptable dogs at home in a variety of households, from condos to castles.
