Which breed originated in Tibet, the Northern Inuit Dog or Lhasa Apso?
Lhasa Apso
Northern Inuit Dog Lhasa Apso
The Northern Inuit Dog is a crossbred dog that originated in the late 1980s, in an attempt to create a domestic dog breed more closely resembling the wolf.  It is currently only recognized by its own independent breed club, but by no other major kennel clubs.  The dog originates from crosses among German Shepherd Dogs, Siberian Huskies, and a variety of Inuit breeds.  Although the original stock is Canadian in origin, the breed was developed in the UK.
The foreign relations of Tibet are documented from the 7th century onward, when Buddhism was introduced by missionaries from India.  The Tibetan Empire sparred with Tang China for control over territory, but relations became good with a peace marriage.  Tibet was conquered by the Mongol Empire and that changed its internal system of government, introducing the Dalai Lamas, as well as subjecting Tibet to foreign hegemony under the Yuan Dynasty.  Tibetan foreign relations during the Ming Dynasty are opaque, with Tibet being either a tributary state or under full Chinese sovereignty.  But by the 18th century, the Qing Dynasty indisputably made Tibet a subject.  In the early 20th century, after a successful invasion, Britain established a trading relationship with Tibet and was permitted limited diplomatic access to "Outer Tibet", basically Shigatse and Lhasa.  Britain supported Tibetan autonomy under the 13th Dalai Lama but did not contest Chinese suzerainty; while "Inner Tibet", areas such as Amdo and Kham with mixed Chinese and Tibetan populations to the east and north, remained nominally under the control of the Republic of China although that control was seldom effective.  Though the sovereignty of Tibet was unrecognized, Tibet was courted in unofficial visits from Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and the United States during and after World War II.  The foreign relations of Tibet ended with the Seventeen Point Agreement that formalized Chinese sovereignty over most all of political Tibet in 1951.

The Tibetan Spaniel is a breed of assertive, small, intelligent dogs originating over 2,500 years ago in the Himalayan mountains of Tibet.  They share ancestry with the Pekingese, Japanese Chin, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Tibetan Terrier and Pug.
Tracheal collapse in dogs is a condition characterized by incomplete formation or weakening of the cartilaginous rings of the trachea resulting in flattening of the trachea.  It can be congenital or acquired, and extrathoracic or intrathoracic (inside or outside the thoracic cavity).  Tracheal collapse is a dynamic condition.  Collapse of the cervical trachea or extrathoracic (in the neck) occurs during inspiration; collapse of the thoracic trachea or intrathoracic (in the chest) occurs during expiration.  Tracheal collapse is most commonly found in small dog breeds, including the Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Toy Poodle, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Maltese, Pug, and Yorkshire Terrier.
The Tibetan Terrier is a medium-size 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 travelers 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 travelers' accounts refer to the dog as Dokhi Apso or "outdoor" Apso, indicating a shaggy or bearded working dog which lives outdoors.
Ch.  Zentarr Elizabeth (2005-2017), also known as Elizabeth, is a Lhasa Apso show dog bred and handled by Margaret Anderson who won Best in Show at Crufts in 2012.  She also placed third at the Eukanuba World Challenge in 2011.
The Kinnaur Sheepdog, also called the Apso Do-Kyi (tied-dog), is a large Apso.  Apso is, in Tibetan, short for "Ara" meaning "moustache" and "sog-sog" meaning "hairy".  These are profusely hairy dogs having an elongated body with front legs shorter than the hind ones, dropping ears and curly tails.  They are related to the smaller Lhasa Apso, as well as the intermediate size Tibetan Terrier.
The Lhasa Apso ( ) is a non-sporting dog breed originating in Tibet.  It was bred as an interior sentinel in the Buddhist monasteries, to alert the monks to any intruders who entered.  Lhasa is the capital city of Tibet, and "apso" is a word in the Tibetan language meaning "bearded", so, Lhasa Apso simply means "long-haired Lhasa dog".  There are, however, some who claim that the word "apso" is a form of the Tibetan word "rapso", meaning "goat-like", which would make the equivalent translation "wooly Lhasa dog".
Norbert is a fluffy, 7" tall mixed breed registered therapy dog, best known for his Norbert picture book series, and his popularity on social media.
