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.
