I am currently considering to buy a tibetan terrier, therefore I'd like to know if it can live in an apartment, and also if it sheds. If this breed does shed, can I prevent the shedding by daily brushing?
Thanks ahead :)

I always love when someone asks questions about a breed of dog I am not familiar with. It encourages me to read and learn. It seems that the Tibetan Terrier is quite a little dog indeed. They are non shedding. But they do have a double coat. At around three months of age the way the hair grows will require you to brush it every day, sometimes twice a day or it will matte. They are very very smart, and you will have to be sure and think of every possible thing they might do. It seems they would be suitable to apartment life, but they will need to be exercised. They will need grooming, but the article I read recommends scissor cutting instead of clipping. A puppy cut is recommended. I will post the link, but one particular Tib unscrewed the screws from this cage with his mouth. Another, or maybe the same one figured out how to get out of his crate and made havoc in the kitchen for the owner to find when they got home:p They sound like very interesting little dogs. And did ya know, they are not actually terriers at all? According to DNA testing, they are one of the oldest dog breeds. Pretty cool huh?
All dogs that I ever seen shed hair just like people.
Yes it helps if you keep them clean and brushed ever day.
You can keep it in you're apartment if the department owner will let you you better, ask before you buy the dog. Or you could both be out on the street.

A Tibetan Terrier can live with you in an apartment, or under a highway overpass - he won't mind, so long as he has you to live with.
Oh, and daily brushing will not prevent him from shedding, but he'll shed into the brush and not on your couch or all over the pavement.
