Also known as Tibbie
A perky little lookout with a lion-like mane
Kept as a companion and watch dog in Tibetan monasteries, the Tibetan Spaniel is small, bright and confident, often perched high to survey its surroundings. It is affectionate with family, a little aloof with strangers, and independent enough to need patient training.

Best-matched service
Yes, it adapts well to flat living thanks to its small size and moderate exercise needs. Its alert barks at noises are the main thing to manage.
They are intelligent but have an independent streak. Short, positive sessions with food rewards work better than repetition.
They shed moderately, with a heavier seasonal coat change. Regular brushing keeps the double coat tidy and cuts down on loose hair.
