The Tibetan Terrier is a loving companion, bred for centuries to sound an alarm, herd and guard flocks, and be a loving companion. Of course, the Tibetan Terrier is not a terrier at all, the name just kinda stuck when they were imported into Europe. At that time most dogs were referred to as spaniels, terriers, mastiffs or sheepdogs. These dogs seemed the closest to terrier to the early explorer and were already calling the Tibetan Spaniels a Spaniel, so Tibetan Terrier it became!.
Having a dry nose can affect your Tibetan Terrier in more ways than just cosmetically. It can inhibit their ability to capture smells and lead to anxiety. A healthy Tibetan Terrier nose serves as smell capturing flypaper. Floating scent particles adhere to the wet surface of a healthy nose and are sent to your dog’s scent glands for classification, storage, and decision making.
