Kinda surprised that it's a Japan-China co-pro, and its name is "The Tibetan Dog." Doesn't China have a pretty strong official stance against Tibetan independence? I guess "The Xizang Autonomous Region Dog" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

AFAICT it does use the term in Chinese. Either way, it sounds like no mention of the governing situation is made; Tibetans still wear their traditional clothes and haven't advanced much economically, so it's quite likely it's set after the Lama got the boot.

With the wealthy Chinese paying as much as $1,000,000+ for a Chinese version of a TM vs. the native TM, this pooch is the most expensive dog breed.
