We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Scottish Deerhound 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 Scottish Deerhound or the Tibetan Terrier.

Scottish Deerhound versus Tibetan Terrier: Overview

A very important difference between the Scottish Deerhound and the Tibetan Terrier is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Scottish Deerhound is a giant-sized dog while the Tibetan Terrier is a small-sized dog.

Furthermore, the Scottish Deerhound belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell. Dogs that belong to the Hound Group have strong prey drives and often will stop at nothing to catch what they are pursuing.

On the other hand, the Tibetan Terrier belongs to the Companion Dogs group. Companion Dogs 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.

Scottish Deerhound versus Tibetan Terrier: Comparison Table

The table below compares the Scottish Deerhound 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 Scottish Deerhound and 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 Scottish Deerhound is 67 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 Scottish Deerhound. 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 Scottish Deerhound and the Tibetan Terrier so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.

    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 85.3 percent, the Scottish Deerhound has an above-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.

    Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Scottish Deerhound 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.

    The Intelligence of the Scottish Deerhound versus the Intelligence of the Tibetan Terrier

    Scottish Deerhound Tibetan Terrier
    Intelligence Rank 47 out of 130 dog breeds 62 out of 130 dog breeds
    Trainability Tend To Learn New Commands After 25 To 40 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:

  • Instinctive Intelligence: This is the natural intelligence a dog has because of what the dog was bred for. This type of intelligence comes from instinct. For example, dog breeds that were bred for guarding will have high `guarding` instinctive intelligence, while dog breeds that were bred for hunting will what high `hunting` instinctive intelligence. However, you cannot compare the intelligence of dog breeds based on instinctive intelligence because such a comparison will not make sense.
  • Adaptive Intelligence (learning and problem-solving ability): This indicates what a dog can learn to do for himself or herself. It includes learning and benefiting from experience with his environment, solving new problems, and so forth. Adaptive intelligence is specific to each dog, and not breed specific. Thus, two dogs can have remarkably different levels of adaptive intelligence even if they are of the same breed.
  • Working/Obedience Intelligence: This intelligence is the closest to what we might call school-learning ability and it is based upon what the dog can learn to do when instructed by humans. Importantly, different dog breeds have different learning abilities. Also, science has shown that some dog breeds can learn faster than some other breeds. This means certain dog breeds tend to have higher working/obedience intelligence than some other breeds. Dogs with high Working/Obedience Intelligence are smart and easy to train.
  • 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 Scottish Deerhound has an obedience intelligence rank of 47 out of 130 dog breeds. The Scottish Deerhound belongs to the `Average Working/Obedience Intelligence Dogs` category. This means that Scottish Deerhounds tend to learn new commands after 25 to 40 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 Scottish Deerhound 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 Scottish Deerhound 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 Scottish Deerhound and the Tibetan Terrier over the years.

    Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Tibetan Terrier is more popular with dog owners than the Scottish Deerhound. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Tibetan Terrier is 94 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Scottish Deerhound is 158 out of about 200 dog breeds.

    Health Problems of Scottish Deerhound 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 Scottish Deerhound 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 Scottish Deerhound.

    This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Tibetan Terrier than for the Scottish Deerhound.

    3 health tests are recommended for Scottish Deerhound while 8 tests are recommended for the Tibetan Terrier.

    Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Scottish Deerhounds and in Tibetan Terriers.

    Scottish Deerhound Health Problems

    Scottish Deerhounds are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Scottish Deerhound 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 Scottish Deerhound puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Scottish Deerhound 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 Scottish Deerhounds for:

  • Cardiac Evaluation
  • FACTOR VII Deficiency DNA test
  • Serum Bile Acid Test
  • You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Scottish Deerhounds 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:

  • Autoimmune thyroiditis
  • Congenital Deafness
  • Elbow Dysplasia
  • Eye Examination- Annual recertification REQUIRED
  • Hip Dysplasia
  • NEURONAL CEROID LIPOFUSCINOSIS (NCL)
  • Patellar Luxation
  • Primary Lens Luxation

    More Discussions on Health Problems in Scottish Deerhounds 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 Scottish Deerhound Breed is Congenital Cardiac problems.

    This is because the Scottish Deerhound ranks 4 out of 159 dog breeds for Congenital Cardiac problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 148 Scottish Deerhounds, 5 of them had Congenital Cardiac problems.

    The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Scottish Deerhounds, and how common these diseases are in Scottish Deerhounds relative to other dog breeds, are given below:

  • Congenital Cardiac problems: Rank 4 out of 159 Dog Breeds
  • 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:

  • Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (Tt) problems: Rank 1 out of 1 Dog Breeds

  • The table below lists the common health problems in Scottish Deerhound and in Tibetan Terrier and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Scottish Deerhound and the Tibetan Terrier:

    Disease Scottish Deerhound Rank Tibetan Terrier Rank
    Congenital Cardiac problems 4 out of 159 dog breeds 31 out of 159 dog breeds
    Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (Tt) problems Not Common 1 out of 1 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

    Hips problems Not Common 153 out of 198 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.
