Note the reference to the Bhuteer Terrier, one of the many names the Lhasa Apso has been known as. Be sure to visit the link. Turning the pages of the book is really cool!

New Finding Puts Origins of Dogs in Middle East.
A few years ago the Gompa dogs participated in a similar study done by Peter Savolainen of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. He makes some interesting observations regarding the above, if you read further into the article.
As I was reading this article, I recalled – vaguely (which is usual these days) – a similar mitochondrial DNA study done with humans. Those researchers made a great case for the origin of three ‘ Eves’. Africa. Middle East. Himalayas. It makes sense to me that domesticated dog would follow a similar path…scoundrels and users of mankind that they are! 🙂
Melissa took this photo of Nagpo. It’s one of my favorites. It captures her ‘ancientness’.
