Country of Origin:
Tibet (China) - Fostered and loved in the monasteries of Tibet for many centuries, this little dog was probably the original from which Pugs and Pekingnese were developed. Just as the Tibetan Terrier is not a terrier, the Tibetan Spaniel is not a spaniel. Owned by the 13th Dalai Lama and bred as watchdogs and bedwarmers. First brought to Great Britain in 1920's, recognized by CKC in 1979 and AKC in 1983.
