Tibetan Spaniel

Tibetan Spaniels are small little guys that go all the way back to Ancient Asia. They were bred with the intent of guarding monasteries for Buddhist monks. They almost resemble small lions, a look that was highly valued by the monks. This is an intelligent and rare breed that is quick to learn. Being that they were originally used as guard dogs, they can be quite vocal when bored. These are low energy dogs that require a bit of grooming to maintain that silky double coat. Tibetan Spaniels value human companionship dearly and can make excellent lap dogs.
