Tibetan Spaniel

Smart, sweet and trusting of other dogs and people, the Tibetan Spaniel has a long history as a companion. It was bred in the monasteries of Tibet and used as a watchdog and bed warmer. Its nickname of "little lion" symbolized Buddha's triumph over violence and aggression. He is a dog who loves comforts and companionship and displays a charming, good nature. They live to play and are heartier than their size may suggest.
