Tibetan Spaniel puppies for sale in New Brunswick

Breed history

The Tibetan Spaniel is an ancient breed that originated over 2,000 years ago in the monasteries and palaces of Tibet. Unlike typical spaniels, this small dog was bred not as a hunting companion but as a sentinel and companion to Buddhist monks. Known for their keen alertness and watchdog instincts, Tibetan Spaniels were prized for their ability to guard temple grounds by barking to alert residents of any intruders. The breed’s elegant, lion-like mane and expressive face made them cherished companions and symbols of good luck. Over centuries, they remained relatively isolated in the Himalayan region until Western explorers introduced them to Europe in the early 20th century, where their charming personality quickly won hearts worldwide.
