The Tibetan Spaniel, or Tibbie, as he is affectionately called, is sometimes described as a large dog in the body of a small dog.
#1 Tibbies are active, alert, and eager to please.
#2 Most importantly, they love to spend time with their owners.
#3 Tibetan Spaniels don’t share any common ancestry with the traditional spaniel breeds.
#4 Tibetan Spaniels are indeed from Tibet.
#5 They were referred to as “little lions,” a title of great honor since lions are considered sacred in Buddhism.
#6 In Tibet, Tibbies are referred to as “Simkhyi,” which means housedog, room dog, or bedroom dog.
