BACKGROUND
The Tibetan Spaniel is a most
charming and highly intelligent little dog which originated
in the Himalayan mountains of Tibet. As a breed, it has been
known for over 2000 years, and was bred and owned by the
Buddhist monks and lamas - they were never sold but
occasionally given as treasured gifts to esteemed friends.
Although legend has it that
they turned the prayer wheels in the monasteries, it was as
a watchdog that they excelled and still do to this day -
their keen sight and hearing making them a valuable
companion, especially to those who live alone.

BREED
PERSONALITY/CHARACTERISTICS
/ TEMPERAMENT
Intelligent, mischievous,
stubborn, determined - all the traits comparable to a
precocious child - and although at times they may test your
patience, they are soon forgiven because of their
playfulness and wicked sense of humour; puppy-like
characteristics which they retain their whole life.
They are very adept at
problem solving and are very responsive to their owners
feelings.Tibetan Spaniels are equally at home in an
apartment or a country property, although they do need to be
adequately confined or they tend to go "exploring" due to
their inquisitive natures.
Because they have been bred
for, and thrive on human companionship they do not make good
kennel dogs, and are best kept in a situation where they
have access to both house and well-fenced garden via a
"dog-door".
Although they may be aloof
with strangers they are very affectionate and devoted to
their family and friends and will adapt to any lifestyle,
although a Tibetan Spaniel should not be left alone for long
periods, such as when the owner's are working, as it may
fret and become depressed without company.
