Description

Tibetan Spaniel

Legend has it that Tibetan Spaniels were trained to turn the prayer wheels in the monasteries. Though this legend is now doubted, they did serve the monks as companions and bed warmers. Their keen eyesight and hearing made them ideal lookouts, lying on the high monastery walls and barking a warning to the monks and the larger Tibetan Mastiffs.

The breed is renowned for living to a healthy age, often fifteen years or more.
