Introduction

The Tibetan Spaniel is a charming little dog that is as sweet-natured as it is adorable to look at, making it a much-loved family pet and companion not only in its native Tibet, but in homes around the world.

History

Tibetan Spaniels were originally bred by monks in remote Himalayan monasteries, and they are believed to be one of Tibet’s most ancient dog breeds. The signature fluffy manes in their coat led to them being nicknamed “Little Lion Dogs” and they were renowned as excellent watchdogs because they liked to sit in high places where they could watch all that was happening below. They were also affectionate companions and would snuggle up to help keep the monks warm in the harsh mountain climate.

Personality

Considered by many to be the perfect companion and family pet, the Tibetan Spaniel is a friendly, cheerful, playful little dog that loves to please its people and enjoys clowning around. They form strong bonds with their family and are excellent watchdogs, and their all-round good-natured characters make them a joy to have around.

Care Tips Tibetan Spaniels are relatively low maintenance. Grooming: a quick brush every day is enough to keep tangles and knots in check. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: as little as 20 minutes of exercise each day will keep this little dog happy, and they prefer two or three short walks to a longer walk, but they also enjoy free time to run and play in a secure garden, and being entertaining is what they do best.
