Summary
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.
About Griffon Nivernais
The Griffon Nivernais is an ancient French, medium‑sized scenthound with a shaggy grey‑fawn coat and rustic look. Bred for boar and deer, it’s energetic outdoors yet calm and affectionate at home. Sociable with other dogs, it needs ample exercise, mental work and gentle, patient training.
