Looks like a Tibetan Terrier to me...I could be wrong, but if it is, I believe the breed was developed in Tibet to be a guard/ hunting dog & companion. Not being that familiar with the breed standard, I can't name common faults or DQ's in the breed, sorry. As far as the name goes...if you are referring to the "terrier" part( the breed is a member of the Non-Sporting Group in AKC), I do think the breed is properly named. Many breeds in AKC "seem" to be in the wrong groups...Yorkshire Terriers, Toy Fox Terriers are in the Toy Group; Miniature Schnauzers are in the Terrier Group, while the Giant & Standard Schnauzer are both in the Working Group! Go figure!
