The Tibetan Terrier is a medium-sized breed of dog that originated in Tibet. Despite its name, it is not a member of the terrier group. The breed was given its English name by European travellers due to its resemblance to known terrier breeds. The Tibetan name for the breed, Tsang Apso, roughly translates to "shaggy or bearded ("apso") dog, from the province of Tsang". Some old travellers' accounts refer to the dog as Dokhi Apso or "outdoor" Apso, indicating a shaggy or bearded working dog which lives outdoors.Tibetan Terriers have been bred and raised in monasteries of Tibet for 2,000 years. Historically, Tibetan Terriers were kept as good luckycharms, mascots, watchdogs, herding dogs, and companions.
