Native country : Tibet
History
The origins of this very ancient breed are unclear. Dogs were traded between Tibet and China so long ago that the Shih Tzu and the Pekingese may have contributed to the Tibetan Spaniel’s development. Alternately, the Tibetan Spaniel crossed with the Pug may have produced the Pekingese. The Tibetan Spaniel has always been a favorite of Tibetan monks, who kept the breed in their monasteries and used him to turn praying wheels. Tibetan Spaniels were brought to Europe by missionaries in the fifteenth century. While the first specimens were brought to Great Britain in 1905, the breed was not developed there until after World War II.

Advice
