Tibetan Spaniel

The Tibetan Spaniel is a bright, cat-like companion bred in Tibetan monasteries as a watchdog and beloved lap dog. They are affectionate with their families, alert to every sound, and often reserved with unfamiliar people. Their expressive face, agile mind, and ancient heritage make them a small breed with a lot of personality.
