A Tibetan Spaniel, also called a Tibetan Temple Dog, is a dog breed that originated in Tibet. The breed has primarily been developed as a companion dog, to keep the Tibetan monks company in the temples and palaces, but the dog also had other functions here, than just a companion dog.
Thousands of years ago, the Tibetan Spaniel was bred by Tibetan temple monks to keep them company in their temples and palaces. At the time, however, the breed was simply called the Tibetan Temple Dog. However, the race also had other functions in the temples, including that as a lookout dog where they kept an eye out on the horizon and alerted the temples' large mastiff dog when strangers approached. The breed was also used as a lap dog by the monks, who were known to walk around with the dogs in their sleeves to warm themselves against the cold in the winter when the temples could get very cold. It is also said that the monks slept with the dogs in their beds at night where they almost functioned as small "hot water bottles" in the cold nights.
To this day, the Tibetan Spaniel still has more of its ancient instincts hidden within it. Therefore, it likes to place itself high where it can keep a lookout, e.g. a window sill or the like. And if it sees a stranger approaching, it immediately alerts the family. Although the Tibetan Spaniel is a small dog, it is a good watchdog, as it is very alert, attentive and vigilant. Later, in the 1890s, the breed came to Britain, where the name, Spaniel, was added. Since then, the breed's popularity has been steadily increasing, among other things, due to its very social and loving nature.
The Tibetan Spaniel is a small dog with a large, full-bodied and silky coat. It is approx. 25 cm tall and weighs between 4 and 7 kg. It is available in all colors and color combinations.
