Summary
About Afghan Hound
Ancient sighthound with tall, elegant build and long silky coat needing frequent grooming. Aloof with strangers but affectionate with family, independent and sensitive to harsh handling. Requires calm, positive training, secure exercise, and careful health and coat care.
About Tibetan Spaniel
Small but sturdy Tibetan companion dog, about 9–15 lb, with a silky double coat, mane-like ruff, and plumed tail. Alert yet not yappy when trained, cat-like in independence, deeply attached to family, good with respectful children, adaptable to city or country with moderate exercise and grooming.
