While not exactly in the same vein as the other classic ancient breeds like huskies or akitas, I have tibetan terriers and they're rad. They were used as guard dogs and farm dogs and yak herders, but they were also considered a good luck charm and revered as companions to the Buddhist monks of the mountains. They're cunning and stubborn as gently caress and very strong-willed but sweet-tempered, and were affectionately known in Tibet as the Little People, because, yeah, gonna do their own thing gently caress youuu. They're very vocal. Very. Oh my god shut up. This is Ru, my current dog. He is the sweetest little jackass. The very picture of indignance. (His coat's pretty short right now because he doesn't cope with heat very well.) This is my old girl, Mills, who died about a year ago. She was a ridiculous grotbag, much more in the vein of the old guard/herding dogs. Absolutely lionhearted. dog or rug? liwet fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Sep 2, 2010 |

I forget it myself pretty often because yeah, they're relatively small (just over knee-high) and hairy and they look like teddy bears and Ru is at this moment sitting on my foot and headbutting me in the knee because I am using my hand to type rather than to pet him*, but when I come up against their stubbornness I remember pretty quickly, ha. Anyway. If anyone's interested in more information on tibetans, their history and background is pretty cool, if a bit loaded with mysticism. *if I continue to ignore him he will stand up on his hindlegs and start smacking me in the chest with his paws. liwet fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Sep 2, 2010 |

Ru likes to sleep across the front door so nothing ever happens without him knowing about it. Eating bamboo and showing off his huge snowshoe feet.
