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 Lapponian Herder
Medium, athletic reindeer herding dog of the Sámi, built for stamina and harsh weather with a dense double coat and varied colors. Intelligent, vocal, watchful, and independent yet sensitive, it needs calm, consistent training and plenty of physical and mental activity.
