About Tibetan Spaniel
Country of Origin, History of Tibetan Spaniels
The Tibetan Spaniel originated in Tibet. The Tibetan Terrier may be in its background. Other breeds in its background are Pekingese, Pug, Japanese Spaniel (Chin).
Depictions of dogs that look like Tibetan Spaniels have been found in Chinese bronzes from 1100 BC. They were given as gifts, a practice which spread the breed throughout Asia and later Europe.
The Tibetan Spaniel was a companion and watchdog at Tibetan monasteries, sitting on the high walls and barking at any sign of intruders. Today’s Tibetan Spaniels also like to sit in high places and watch the action.
