Tibetan Spaniel

The Tibetan Spaniel is an ancient breed of dog, originating in Tibet over 2,500 years ago.

Bred as a companion and guard dog, they were prized by Buddhist monks for their intelligence and loyalty.

These small, sturdy dogs have a long, silky coat that comes in a variety of colors.

They are known for their lively, affectionate personalities and their ability to be trained easily.

Tibetan Spaniels are alert and attentive, making them excellent watchdogs.

They are also highly intelligent and eager to please, making them great companions for families.

Tibetan Spaniels are active and playful, but also enjoy cuddling up with their owners.

They are generally good with other animals and children, and make wonderful additions to any home.
