Our tibby Toby is now in his 18th year. He is so amazing loving loyal and gorgeous. He is now deaf and loosing his eye sight but he still loves his food and does zoomies every day. We have had Tibetian Monks who live local bow to Toby. They call him little lion. His coat has always been beautiful soft and silky. They are a wonderful family pet and are so good around babies and children. Love our Tibbies xxxx
Thank you for presenting an accurate description of Tibetan Spaniels, a dog after my own heart. Some live to be around 20 years old, and some don't, as you mentioned. I am not a dog breeder, but a dog lover. My Tibbies have always been yodelers. They have the sweetest yodel, unlike any other yodeling breed. I'm not sure if they all yodel or just a select few. ❤
Having had a "Tibby" I would have another in a heartbeat. He was easy to train, although responding to commands, was certainly on his terms...he was a 'runner.' A bit arrogant, but, he was truly adored by all who met him. His sire was Best in Breed at Westminster and his mom's sister was Best in Breed at Croft's. Guess the arrogance was in his genetics. Love the breed and am so very surprised it is not prominent or desired.
Intellegent: Just because a dog thinks tricks are pointless and refuse to participate doesn't mean they aren't smart. It means they're not clowns. They seem to know the difference between learning good manners and silly, pointless tricks. I agree 100%.

touch of stubborn? you have to make them think it’s their idea to do things.
