We are here to cater to your puppies needs 24 hours a day. Our business hours are from 8am to 5pm.

It is neither silky nor curly.

We raise our puppies using the “puppy culture” protocols (PuppyCulture.com). This includes, but is not limited to, early neurological stimulation (ENS), startle recovery, problem solving, socialization and enrichment, early litter training etc. We have found that it develops confident, well balanced dogs!

However, this is just the beginning. We encourage families to continue this work. If there is a puppy class near you we would recommend you start there as it’s usually a good way to get a new pup acclimated to other puppies close to their age and size etc. Kids and other family members are usually welcome at these classes so it’s good to have them learning things right along with the pup! Early commands (sit, down, stay and come) are taught and you will feel more comfortable training your puppy.Proper socialization at this time in their lives makes a huge difference in how the puppy will react to situations later with its forever family and new situations. It’s as important as the nourishing food we give them. We do our best to accomplish this with every litter. More ideas for other socialization for puppies: **We know that dog parks are very popular but our advice is to use much caution here. Ease your new puppy into situations where dogs are not leashed and you don’t know if they are friendly or will scare your pup with their exuberance. Until the puppy is over 6 months stay away from these kinds of set ups. Tibetan Terriers should have a heavy fall of hair over the eyes and face to protect them from the elements. The breed should also have a lovely plumed tail carried over the back. In addition to the breed’s square, compact look, other important characteristics include large, almost flat feet suitable for traction on rough ground, a good rib spring and superb balance. All this is accompanied by strong reach of the front legs and strong drive in the rear.We use cookies to analyze website traffic and optimize your website experience.

These shaggy dogs were known as “the Holy Dogs of Tibet.” They were treasured by the lamas, who kept them as companions, good luck charms, mascots, and watchdogs. There is also evidence that TTs were used to herd as well as to retrieve articles that tumbled down the steep rocky mountains into crevices. The breed is very sure-footed, and they are powerful jumpers: they would be well suited for such tasks. They were never sold but were given as gifts to promote good fortune as a mark of great respect. The Tibetan Terrier is NOT a true terrier.Because the Tibetan Terrier has a profuse, often thick, double coat, the breed must be brushed, combed and bathed on a regular basis. If this is done consistently, it can be enjoyable for both dog and owner. Tibetan Terrier coats are NOT low maintenance!

The Tibetan Terrier originally came from the Himalayan country of Tibet, an isolated region north of India. According to legend, the breed was raised primarily by the lamas in monasteries and was kept purebred for over 2,000 years.

We raise Tibetan Terrier puppies in our homes with our families helping out. Our kids have been involved from the beginning and really enjoy the puppies!The Tibetan Terrier Club of America recommends spaying or neutering your dog not destined for the breed ring. Our vet’s opinion among others? Waiting until your pup is 1 to 1.5 years is most optimal for your dog’s bone structure. Hormones play an important part in your dog’s development and to stop their production prematurely is not advised. Most of all have fun with your TT puppy…they are an engaging bunch and will quickly work their way into your hearts and family routines! We love to hear how all the puppies are doing so please send news and photos when you can. When they are about 5 weeks old we begin feeding them raw food, pieces of ground beef or turkey mixed with goat milk. We’ll discuss in more detail how/what we feed the pups when families come to meet the puppies.The color of the Tibetan is merely a matter of choice and accessibility. All colors are equal in the breed, and the range is wide: from pure white to jet black, with goldens, silvers, brindles, fawns, parti-colors and tri-colors. The Tibetan Terrier was never bred for color, since it was considered more important to breed for sturdy good health, loving temperament, and correct type (the “look” of the breed). When people visit here everyone takes off their shoes and washes up before they play with the ‘babies’…we don’t want to introduce too many new germs into their environment even though nursing does immunize them fairly well we don’t take any chances. At first we hold them frequently as in the early stages their sense of smell is working and a gentle touch is important for them too. Everyone has to sit on the floor when they hold puppies because even at this stage they are wiggly! By 14 days their eyes and ears are open and although they still cannot walk they are moving around to find mom and vocalize if they can’t get to her. Holding puppies is still happening and as they get bigger and more aware of their surroundings they are even more fun to snuggle with for everyone. We use PuppyCulture.com protocols with our puppies so we do Early Neurological Stimulation with the babies from day 3 to day 14 or 15 to start them on the road to ‘waking up’ to their world. Using happy voices (this is fun!) special foods, treats during any of these situations will help them feel comfortable. And if you see signs of fear, move far away from the situation and let them sit and watch (while treating them) and see if your pup wants to eventually move closer- which is a good sign!

There are a number of The Kennel Club rules and regulations that may prevent a litter from being registered, find out about our general and breed specific breeding restrictions below. The Kennel Club Assured Breeders must use the following (or equivalent) schemes, tests and advice. All other breeders are strongly advised to also use these. Closely related to the Lhasa Apso, the Tibetan Terrier was classified with that breed at early dog shows in the UK as a Lhasa Terrier. The breed is not a terrier but has been used as a herding dog for sheep.

Whether you’re thinking of buying a puppy, or breeding from your dog, it’s essential that you know what health issues may be found in your breed. To tackle these issues we advise that breeders use DNA tests, screening schemes and inbreeding coefficient calculators to help breed the healthiest dogs possible.Currently no points of concern specific to this breed have been identified for special attention by judges, other than those covered routinely by The Kennel Club’s breed standard.

This group consists of miscellaneous breeds of dog mainly of a non-sporting origin, including the Bulldog, Dalmatian, Akita and Poodle. The name ‘Utility’ essentially means fitness for a purpose and this group consists of an extremely mixed and varied bunch, most breeds having been selectively bred to perform a specific function not included in the sporting and working categories. Some of the breeds listed in the group are the oldest documented breeds of dog in the world.The breed first came out of Tibet thanks to an English surgeon, Dr Greig who was working in a hospital on the Indian/Tibetan border in the early 1920s. When she returned to England in the 1930s she brought her dogs with her and her Lamleh strain was instrumental in establishing the breed both in the UK and in the USA. The breed was recognised by The Kennel Club in 1937.

Many Terriers and Dachsunds enjoy sitting on a deep windowsill or other piece of furniture and simply watching the world go by. If your dog is quick to bark, however, you might want to restrict their ability to see outside so as not to overstimulate them, and to teach them to be quiet on command – this will make the home environment calmer for both of you.This varies widely across the terrier breeds – some are very affectionate and are almost lap dogs at home, while others don’t have much patience at all for physical displays of affection but are still just as bonded to their owners. All owners should spend time teaching their terrier puppy to enjoy being handled and groomed to prevent future touch sensitivities. This certainly doesn’t mean you should encourage your terrier be the terror of the local rodent population but it does mean that training and games should be targeted in ways that simulate hunting in order to keep them happy, healthy and fulfilled as well as improve your bond. As well as taking your small dog for on-lead pavement walks to explore urban areas, your terrier breed will also enjoy lots of off-lead running in safe areas – be it chasing balls on a beach or scurrying after squirrels and birds in parks and woodlands. Walking Terriers can turn into an unexpected adventure – try and protect them by teaching good recall, but don’t be surprised if your dog doesn’t always listen when mid-chase!Feeding your Terrier or Dachshund can be fun as well as practical. These breeds’ natural desire to hunt and burrow can be stimulated by putting up to 30% of their dry food in a ball pit, or scattering and hiding it around the garden on dry days for them to hunt for. Try placing up to 10% of their dry daily food allowance in a variety of food-dispensing toys for them to play with, and another 5% as rewards for obedience and tricks.As this predatory behaviour is self-rewarding for dogs (ie it doesn’t need an external reward such as a treat or praise), owners have to be aware that not only do their dogs enjoy carrying out these behaviours, they need to do them to stay healthy and happy. Often, these are also the behaviours they will resort to if they are bored, stressed, under-stimulated, excited – or just for fun.Terriers’ instincts have been honed to perfection by successive breeding to locate and kill vermin quickly. Terriers who don’t have to stalk or chase their prey (as they are in very close proximity) are specialists in watching and killing their prey, often with a single bite. Terriers are bred to work alone and so many can become problematic with other dogs if they are not well and positively socialised. To be successful, dog socialisation should be ongoing and carefully managed. Most terrier breeds have their origins in the UK and were developed to kill vermin such as rats and mice in a variety of settings from the rural to the industrial, either above or below ground. With a history of looking out for vermin, a terrier will be the first to alert you to just about anything. As well as being constantly alert, terriers are quick to take any action they feel might be necessary. They can be reactive to other dogs – and may hunt small furries including cats. Terrier breeds generally love their own family but can take or leave other people – and some do not have much tolerance for children and the associated noise and running around. The different breeds – and individuals within the breeds – vary widely however and some are far softer and more tolerant.

As long as you are following the daily feeding guidelines on your dog’s food packet, monitoring your dog’s weight and keeping them in ideal body condition, don’t worry if the resulting amount you put in his bowl looks a bit small – if they’ve had their daily food allocation and you are feeding them a complete diet, they will have all the nutrients and energy they need to be happy and active!

On occasions when you can’t adequately exercise your Terrier or Dachshund outdoors, training exercises and games such as hiding treats around the house will help to prevent boredom, as well as being a bit of fun too.

Some terrier breeds have a lot to say for themselves (especially those who traditionally would work underground as they may need to shout if they get stuck so they can be located and dug out). If your terrier gets bored, stressed or excited (or just because!) they can easily become nuisance barkers. This also can be a problem if they are left home-alone.

If your dog has wet food, use other more convenient treats as rewards in training, but be careful to include them when calculating their daily requirements. Feed them at least two meals per day: you could split it into one main meal of half their allowance, and put up to 4-5 smaller portions for the other half in varying loc
ations, so your dog has to use their brain power to seek it out.Many terrier breeds and dachshunds are also very bouncy and love chasing and jumping at moving objects. Try blowing bubbles for them to pop – great fun for everyone, especially for children who get to combine blowing bubbles with playing with their pet. Alternatively, use a bubble machine made especially for dogs to blow meat-flavoured bubbles if you want to amuse them while you get on with other chores. These can be purchased online and from some pet stores.

Nutrition is a key part of terrier and dachshund care. Since food is such an important part of what makes a dog like yours happy, there are far more options for feeding that simply giving them a bowl of food twice a day. Instead, make mealtimes longer-lasting and more interesting by devising different ways of providing your Terrier’s or Dachshund’s daily allowance.Terriers love dog games! Especially ones that involve playing with their owner tugging and digging. Interactive toys that allow them to rip and tear (even kibble or treats in an empty cardboard kitchen towel tube will do) will help keep their natural instincts satisfied and help improve the owner/dog bond.

Get ready for unwanted digging. Terrier breeds aren’t great dogs if you are garden-proud, unless you are prepared to fence off a specific area for them or build a digging pit.Terriers and dachshund breeds generally take well to indoor kennels (sometimes known as crates) and enjoy the peace that comes with being in their own den-like space. Put a blanket over the top and three sides to make it as cosy as possible for a dog that likes to be ‘underground’, and place some comfortable bedding and a safe tasty chew toy inside to make it perfect.Most terriers have a rough harsh coat that is weather-proof and fairly easy to keep clean and tidy. Some will have coats that need regular stripping to keep in good condition and coat care should be discussed with the breeder.Many terriers look on dog training with amusement and few are traditionally obedient! Some find training classes too stimulating and find it hard to concentrate around other dogs and people – and so owners need to find a trainer who understands this and can provide them with the right kind of environment while they are learning to focus on their owner. They are however smart and intelligent, and with an owner who understands them – and has both patience and a sense of humour – they can do surprisingly well.Although your terrier breeds or dachshund can be well socialised and trained to have good manners, they may be unlikely to back down if another dog picks on them, despite the fact they’re physically small! With this in mind, recall training should be practised regularly to ensure you can always get your dog’s attention, and you should remain vigilant on walks for potentially difficult situations with unknown dogs.If you want a dog who will hang on your every word or excel in obedience or dog sports, a terrier probably isn’t a great choice. They can and should be trained to be well-behaved, but they are rarely traditionally obedient! They may also be standoffish with strangers.

It may be a good idea to train terriers to ‘shush’. Terriers are quick to react to callers or unusual noises with a warning bark. Some are more reactive and persistent than others, and teaching a good response to the requests ‘Speak’ and ‘Shush’ is very useful for a quiet life! If you teach a Terrier to bark when asked, it will not only mean they can have a good ‘shout’ when it’s convenient for you both, such as outside on a walk, but also that you can quieten your dog more easily when they bark indoors.If you are considering getting another dog as a companion, choosing a dog of the opposite sex dramatically improves your chances of them having a happy relationship, as the two sexes usually get on very well and rarely compete over resources. Discuss neutering one or both dogs straight away with your vet. With Terriers, choosing a non-Terrier breed as the second dog can also work well. A Gundog or Scent Hound, for example, will want very different things in life to another Terrier, so they are unlikely to compete. Dachshunds usually get along well with other Dachshunds, so you might enjoy looking after a playful duo!

Whether you have one or more Terrier or Dachshund, you can strengthen the bond between you and each dog through regular play, training and exercise. These are all crucial to your dog’s emotional and physical health, but don’t forget that just spending time together is also very important, and something they really value. If they’ve been well exercised mentally and physically, they will enjoy simply snoozing at your feet or on your lap in the evening while you read or watch TV.Terrier dog breeds are truly enthusiastic about life. They generally have a lot to say and a lot to see, but their diverse backgrounds make room for a lot of variety in their personalities and behaviour. If you think terrier breeds are a match for you, here is what to expect, in a nutshell.

With one exception (the larger Airedale), terrier breeds are small dogs with huge – and fairly strong – personalities. With different histories and working styles, some of the terriers are quite feisty and tenacious while others are softer and less challenging, but all can be accurately described as ‘large dogs in a small body’!Dachshund care and Terrier care should include satisfying their innate needs. Dogs in this group are often confident, spirited and extrovert characters. This is because their original work required them to be tough as they went underground hunting rats and badgers – no easy adversaries! Even Terriers who have never seen a rodent can be feisty with other animals, which is why early and thorough socialisation and training Terriers and Dachshunds is especially important for them.

The four-legged friends are certainly not for neat freaks, because they lose hair practically with every step. On the other hand, the fluffy family dogs are all the more suitable for cuddling. Also with children, the affectionate animals are very patient.A comb can be used to remove smaller areas of felt that have not yet hardened. However, a brush is better suited.

This coat protects them from the elements in their native Tibet, but it also means they require a bit more grooming than other breeds. You’ll need to brush your Tibetan Terrier at least once a week, and more often during shedding season.

A healthy diet is important for all dogs, but it’s especially important for growing puppies. Tibetan Terrier puppies need a diet that’s high in protein and fat to help them grow and develop properly. You can talk to your vet about the best diet for your puppy, and look for foods that are specifically formulated for large breed puppies. Avoid giving your puppy table scraps or other people food, as this can cause digestive problems.

A daily walk or run is a must, and they’ll also enjoy playing fetch or other active games. If they don’t get enough exercise, they may become restless or destructive.

Tibetan Terriers make wonderful companions, but they do have some specific care needs. Be sure to brush their coat regularly, exercise them daily, and feed them a high-quality diet. With the right care, your Tibetan Terrier will be a loyal friend for years to come.

Terriers are notoriously feisty with other dogs; they were bred to hunt solo and thus had little need for sociability. A terrier who spends time around other canines from an early age may learn to be friendly with them. But even with appropriate socialization, some terriers are best suited to single dog homes and may not do well in certain situations, like at the dog park.

Terriers are bred to dig out burrowed animals, which can translate into unwanted digging in your yard or garden. A simple solution to this problem is to create a digging pit for your terrier. Terriers are also escape artists who run and roam. For this reason, most terriers require secure fencing and do best when kept on leash when they’re outside of their yard.Terriers need a variety of outlets to release their abundant energy, including lots of exercise. Despite the small size of many terriers, the group tends to be incredibly athletic. They can make ideal workout partners for activities like hiking, jogging and long walks. Many terriers excel at doggy sports, including agility, Earthdog, lure racing, fly ball and scenting. Scooter destroyed our yard. She was a digger who turned our lawn into a minefield of holes and mounds. She also took it as her duty to patrol the perimeter of our fence with such fervor that she wore a path all the way around the yard as well. My first dog was a Wire Haired Fox Terrier named Scooter. Like many terriers, she was energetic, determined, playful and independent. She was also something of a terror, though. My early experience with terrier tenacity is largely why I became an animal trainer.Terriers respond well to reward-based training, in particular clicker training, because they are problem solvers and highly motivated by incentives, like play and treats. Impulse-control exercises like waiting at the door are especially important for teaching terriers delayed gratification. Lastly, food puzzles can be indispensable at mealtimes, as the process mimics your terrier’s inborn predatory instinct. Most problematic of all, though, was the barking. Scooter barked constantly, which caused problems with the neighbors. One night my brother and I were home alone when we heard someone yelling and pounding on our front door. I called the police, convinced we were in danger. My parents came home to find police cars in our driveway and officers searching for the intruder. It turned out that the man at the door had been our neighbor; he was furious about Scooter’s barking and had come to lecture us about the noise. Scooter was not the devoted dog I had dreamed of; she was independent and ran away every chance she got. She dashed through open doors or pulled out of her collar and took off running. She was oblivious to my panic-stricken pleas and would run until she was cornered.Terriers are commonly friendly, but are rarely the type who thrive on being held or coddled. Because they were bred to work independently, terriers are less attached to people than other comparable dogs. Certain breeds of terrier are more likely to be wary of strangers; for these dogs, extensive socialization with a wide variety of people, including children, is necessary.

Terriers were bred to chase down and kill small animals, which can make them a hazard to other pets, particularly smaller rodents. If introduced early enough to other animals, a terrier may learn to adjust and get along well with them. Some terriers will never be good candidates for homes with small animals, though, because their predatory drive is too high.This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it.

The Tibetan Terrier’s double coat is designed to withstand very cold temperatures. But, despite appearances, Tibetan Terriers do not shed like other dogs but rather lose hair in a similar way to humans as the hair has a longer life cycle.

The first part of their name is more accurate – the breed originates from the Tibetan plateau where they remained pure-bred for thousands of years. In fact, Tibetan Terriers were seen as a good luck charm for families and villages and were known as “little people” due to their fondness of humans. Selling or mistreating a Tibetan Terrier was seen as bad luck. Perhaps due to this charmed history in Tibet, these pups didn’t make it to the UK until 1922 when they were imported by an English doctor.Tibetan Terriers will need daily grooming to avoid tangles in their thick, long coat. Of course, some owners will choose to trim their coats shorter which can make it easier to keep knots at bay.
