Ladies and gentlemen,
We would like to express our concern regarding the recent announcement by the FCI to the country of origin of the Tibetan Spaniel, Tibetan Terrier, Tibetan Mastiff, Lhasa Apso and Shih Tzu change from Tibet to China.
According to many lovers, owners and breeders of the Tibetan breeds change decision taken not only the history of these races, it is just blatantly ignored. In addition, the breeding of our race has ever started in the Tibetan Buddhist monastery and NOT somewhere in the Chinese empire.
The voting members during the FCI meeting in March 2015 with taking This decision not only ignored the history of these races, but also all pioneers, kennel clubs, breeders and exhibitors of the affected breeds.
Given this decision, is our great concern to the following points:
- Maintaining the patronage of these varieties
- Preservation of the rasstandaards today described as the said varieties
- Preservation of the variety names of these breeds.
As a representative of one of the varieties concerned and recognized member of the Council of Management, we want you, Board of Directors, as a member of the FCI ask that it be points
included on the agenda of the next meeting of the FCI and that you like representative of your members and fans of the Tibetan breeds our worries announces and where possible decision regarding the country of origin, reverses.
Sincerely,
On behalf of the breed Tibetan terrier, rvTT

Position Raad van Beheer on the allocation of the country of origin of five Tibetan breeds in China
In recent days we have been approached with the question of how we think about the change of the "country of origin" of Tibetan breeds in China.
a. The procedure
The Raad van Beheer include spoken about the fact that we have this decision by the FCI have not previously communicated with our supporters. The decision some time ago by the board of the FCI and was only taken on 20 June. communicated to all affiliated kennel clubs. Simultaneously, the decision was made public.
b. Our vision
The Board was surprised to learn that the country of origin of five Tibetan breeds has changed in China. It involves the following five varieties:
- Do-Khyi (Tibetan Mastiff) (230)
- TIBETAN TERRIER (209)
- TIBETAN SPANIEL (231)
- LHASA APSO (227)
- SHIH TZU (208).
All these varieties have a very long tradition for each race a very deep roots in Tibet.
Both the Raad van Beheer as the members representing these races in our country do not have compelling reasons to hear this decision of the FCI would warrant.
In addition, we assume that the country of patronage England and the name of the respective breeds remain unchanged. The country of origin "Tibet" we want to leave unchanged.
The Raad van Beheer will therefore FCI insist to reconsider this decision as soon as possible.
From the results, we will of course inform.
