Keeshond Versus Tibetan Terrier: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier? Well, you have come to the right place. Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Keeshond and for the Tibetan Terrier. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Keeshond or the Tibetan Terrier.
Keeshond versus Tibetan Terrier: Overview
A very important difference between the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Keeshond is a medium-sized dog while the Tibetan Terrier is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, both the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier are Companion Dogs. This means both the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier were bred to be companions for humans. Their main goal in life is to be with people, and they will be very sad if left to themselves for long hours day after day.
Keeshond versus Tibetan Terrier: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Keeshond to the Tibetan Terrier based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier

Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Keeshond in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Tibetan Terrier. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Keeshond is 83 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Tibetan Terrier is 85 out of 125.
Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Tibetan Terrier is a better pet than the Keeshond. So, you should get the Tibetan Terrier!
Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.

Temperament of the Tibetan Terrier Versus the Keeshond
The Keeshond has a better temperament than the Tibetan Terrier.
This is because the temperament score for the Keeshond is 81.6 percent while the temperament score for the Tibetan Terrier is 57.1 percent, according to the American Temperament Test Society (ATTS).
The American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide fair and objective evaluations of the temperaments of dog breeds.
Dog breeds with low temperament scores tend to show unprovoked aggression, they easily panic without quickly recovering from the panic, and they tend to avoid people. However, dog breeds with high temperament scores are not aggressive and are not shy. Also, these dogs are generally friendly and are protective of their owners.
The average temperament score across all dog breeds (over 250 breeds) is 83.7 percent.
With its temperament score of 81.6 percent, the Keeshond has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
With its temperament score of 57.1 percent, the Tibetan Terrier has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
The ATTS obtained the temperament scores of the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier by measuring the temperaments of 87 Keeshonds and 14 Tibetan Terriers.

A breakdown of the prices of Tibetan Terriers
Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Keeshond puppy or the Tibetan Terrier puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.
Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.
You may also consider adopting a dog instead of buying a dog.
Adopting the Keeshond versus Adopting the Tibetan Terrier
You may consider adopting a dog instead of buying a puppy. Many Keeshonds and many Tibetan Terriers are currently available for adoption.
These adorable and cute dogs are waiting in dog shelters hoping that someday someone will rescue them. Furthermore, adoption costs are lesser than the cost of a new puppy.

The Intelligence of the Keeshond versus the Intelligence of the Tibetan Terrier
| Keeshond | Tibetan Terrier | |
|---|---|---|
| Intelligence Rank | 16 out of 130 dog breeds | 62 out of 130 dog breeds |
| Trainability | Tend To Learn New Commands After 5 To 15 Repetitions | Tend To Learn New Commands After 40 To 80 Repetitions! |
Professor Stanley Coren, the famous psychology/neuropsychological professor and, dog lover/trainer measured and ranked the intelligence of about 130 different dog breeds.
According to Prof. Stanley Coren, the total intelligence that a dog demonstrates is the addition of three types of intelligence. These intelligence types are:
Prof. Coren showed that the Working/Obedience Intelligence of different dog breeds can be measured reliably. Thus, he was able to rank different dog breeds based on their Working/Obedience Intelligence.
This is important because according to Prof. Coren, 51 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from its genes while 49 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from the dog`s environmental circumstances.
To rank the intelligence of dog breeds, Prof. Coren employed the help of 208 dog obedience judges in North America to fill out a detailed survey on dog obedience. This number represented more than half of all of these judges in North America at the time. He also employed 63 veterinarians and 14 guard dog experts to collect data on the personality of different dog breeds.
Prof. Coren found that the Keeshond has an obedience intelligence rank of 16 out of 130 dog breeds. The Keeshond belongs to the `Excellent Working Dogs` category. This means that Keeshonds tend to learn new commands after 5 to 15 repetitions.
The Tibetan Terrier has an obedience intelligence rank of 62 out of 130 dog breeds. The Tibetan Terrier belongs to the `Fair Working/Obedience Intelligence Dogs` category. This means that Tibetan Terriers tend to learn new commands after 40 to 80 repetitions!.
The Keeshond is more intelligent than the Tibetan Terrier.
However, Prof. Coren noted that a dog should not be judged based on its intelligence alone, that other factors such as sociability, adorability, and compatibility with the owner are other very important factors that new dog owners need to consider when deciding on a new dog.
The Popularity of Keeshond versus Popularity of Tibetan Terrier
Every year, the American Kennel Club (AKC) publishes information on how popular a dog breed is in that particular year. The AKC gets the popularity information of a breed from how many dogs of that breed the owners register with the AKC every year. The AKC collects this data for about 200 dog breeds. The AKC collects this data for purebred dogs only(no mixed or hybrid dogs).
The graphs and the table below show the popularity of the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier over the years.
Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Keeshond is more popular with dog owners than the Tibetan Terrier. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Keeshond is 89 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Tibetan Terrier is 94 out of about 200 dog breeds.

Health Problems of Keeshond versus Health Problems of Tibetan Terrier
Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.
Both the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.
The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.
Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Tibetan Terrier is prone to more genetic health problems than the Keeshond.
This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Tibetan Terrier than for the Keeshond.
4 health tests are recommended for Keeshond while 8 tests are recommended for the Tibetan Terrier.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Keeshonds and in Tibetan Terriers.
Keeshond Health Problems
Keeshonds are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Keeshond puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Keeshond puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Keeshond breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Keeshonds for:
You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Keeshonds here.
Tibetan Terrier Health Problems
Tibetan Terriers are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Tibetan Terrier puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Tibetan Terrier puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Tibetan Terrier breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Tibetan Terriers for:

More Discussions on Health Problems in Keeshonds and Tibetan Terriers
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Keeshond Breed is Primary Hyperparathyroidism problems.
This is because the Keeshond ranks 1 out of 1 dog breeds for Primary Hyperparathyroidism problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 457 Keeshonds, 10 of them had Primary Hyperparathyroidism problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Keeshonds, and how common these diseases are in Keeshonds relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Tibetan Terrier Breed is Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (Tt) problems.
This is because the Tibetan Terrier ranks 1 out of 1 dog breeds for Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (Tt) problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 2930 Tibetan Terriers, 131 of them had Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (Tt) problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Tibetan Terriers, and how common these diseases are in Tibetan Terriers relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
The table below lists the common health problems in Keeshond and in Tibetan Terrier and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Keeshond and the Tibetan Terrier:
| Disease | Keeshond Rank | Tibetan Terrier Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Hyperparathyroidism problems | 1 out of 1 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Elbow problems | 47 out of 144 dog breeds | 72 out of 144 dog breeds |
| Thyroid problems | 47 out of 115 dog breeds | 10 out of 115 dog breeds |
| Patella problems | 63 out of 145 dog breeds | 23 out of 145 dog breeds |

| Rcd4 Progressive Retinal Atrophy problems | Not Common | 3 out of 8 dog breeds |
| Primary Lens Luxation problems | Not Common | 9 out of 17 dog breeds |
| Baer Hearing Test problems | Not Common | 10 out of 21 dog breeds |
| Congenital Cardiac problems | Not Common | 31 out of 159 dog breeds |
*To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.
Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
