Tibetan Dogs

The Chinese Kennel Union have successfully lobbied the World Canine Organisation to change the official country of origin from Tibet to China for five breeds of Tibetan dog: Tibetan Mastiff, Tibetan Terrier, Tibetan Spaniel, Lhasa Apso and Shih-Tzu. However, the United Kingdom based Kennel Club and Shih Tzu Club have disagreed, stressing the importance of factual credibility and reclassifying these breeds as originating in “Tibet (China)”.
