The brisket extends downward to the top of the elbow in the mature Tibetan Terrier. The rib cage is not too wide across the chest and narrows slightly to permit the forelegs to work free at the sides. There may be a kink near the tip. The vertical distance from the withers to the elbow equals the distance from the elbows to the ground. They are large, flat, and round in shape producing a snowshoe effect that provides traction.
