The Tibetan Spaniel is an ancient companion breed developed by Tibetan monks to act as watchdogs in monasteries, often perched high on walls to keep an eye on intruders. Small but alert, they are known for their lion-like mane, expressive eyes, and deep bond with their family.
Their silky, long coat requires regular brushing, particularly during seasonal shedding, to avoid mats and tangles. Tibetan Spaniels are smart, independent, and cat-like, meaning they can be a bit reserved or stubborn, but they thrive with gentle, consistent training and plenty of companionship.
