Adopting a Tibetan Terrier

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Tibetan Terrier - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Tibetan Terrier at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Tibetan Terrier is typically $50 to $300. This adoption fee often covers an initial exam, vaccines, preventatives, microchipping, and spay/neuter. In contrast, buying a Tibetan Terrier from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,500 to $3,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Tibetan Terrier is through a rescue that specializes in Tibetan Terriers or through a small-breed dog rescue. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Tibetan Terriers in your search radius.

Tibetan Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Tibetan Terrier's name in Tibetan is "Dokhi Apso," which translates to "long-haired watchdog." They're actually not terriers at all, which is why they're in the "Non-Sporting" breed group and not the "Terrier" breed group.

Traditionally, Tibetan Terriers were used as watchdogs and companions in monasteries.

Tibetan Terriers were brought to the West by way of an English physician in India receiving one as a gift by a Tibetan merchant as a token of gratitude for treating his sick wife.
