The Watchful Companion Who Prefers Observation Over Chaos
Overview
Small, expressive, and surprisingly independent for a companion breed, the Tibetan Spaniel was originally bred to live alongside monks in Himalayan monasteries, watching from walls and alerting to anything unfamiliar.
They don’t throw themselves into every situation.
They sit back, observe, and decide when to engage.
