Full description

The Tibetan Spaniel is a bright, watchful companion that often enjoys observing its surroundings from raised resting places. It is affectionate with its family but may be reserved with strangers, making early, positive socialisation valuable. Daily walks, play and mental enrichment help balance its alert nature. Its silky coat needs regular brushing, particularly around the ears and feathering.
