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 Sarplaninac
The Sarplaninac is a large, rustic Balkan livestock guardian, calm and serious yet deeply loyal to its family. It has a thick weatherproof double coat and strong territorial instincts, needs space, firm but fair handling, steady exercise, and careful socialization with strangers and other dogs.
