Tibetan Spaniel Health

Tibetan Spaniels are a relatively health breed, and responsible breeders screen their stock for health conditions such as progressive retinal atrophy (a genetic eye disease); 'cherry eye,' an inflammation of tissue adjacent to the eye that often is corrected surgically; and patellar luxation. Before going to their new homes, puppies should be checked for portosystemic shunt (liver shunt), in which the blood flow around and/or through the liver is affected.

Recommended Health Tests

  • Patella Evaluation
  • Ophthalmologist Evaluation

About the Tibetan Spaniel

The frisky and curious Tibetan Spaniel was bred ages ago for sentinel work on the walls of Tibetan monasteries. Known for a flat, silky coat and 'lion's mane' around the neck, the Tibbie forms a tight, worshipful bond with their humans.

With a blunt muzzle and big expressive eyes, a 'lion's mane' around the neck, and a plumed tail elegantly curving over the back, they're distinctly Tibetan. But are they spaniels? No, not in the Western sense, like Cockers or Cavaliers. Instead, Tibbies recall the ancient traditions that produced Pekes, Pugs, Lhasas, and other unmistakably Asian breeds. Tibbies stand about 10 inches at the shoulder; they move quickly and with purpose. They're seen in coats of many colors and combinations.
