While we have only just begun to know this delightful breed, we do know that they have a lot to offer.  They are a very loving little dog who while being just a touch aloof with strangers, will quickly win over the most hardened of hearts.  We find it amusing that after having bathed our Jefferey that he tends to try and ignore us for at least a few hours as if to say "you did that to me and expect me to be friendly?" However, he is soon back to his loving self and all seems forgiven until next time!!

Our adult bitch Minx has won such a place in our heart and home that she sleeps behind our pillows on the bed with us each night!!  Aleisha our baby girl has also won us over with her playfull nature, playing quite freely with our 6 month old inside kitten and a young Cavalier we are running on.  Jefferey our baby boy is, well, just Jefferey.  He thinks he has taken over the house from the minute he arrived and "talks" to you.  He too plays with the kitten and the pair go tearing through the house chasing each other. There is never a dull moment around here.

Grooming of the Tibetans is much like grooming a Cavalier, it needs to be done on a regular basis to avoid those horrid knots.  Tibetans unlike Cavaliers though have an undercoat which is what tends to be what knots rather than the top coat. Ears need to be wiped out regularly to avoid earmite but on a whole these dogs are fairly low maintenance.  Their coat is such that the tend not to get that strong doggy odour and therefore can be washed less often. It really comes down to personal preference though so do what you are comfortable with. 

Well it's been some time since I started this page and we now have another girl "Maddie".  We have been busy showing the three of them with a great deal of success especially with Jefferey.  He has done us proud winning 2 Baby Puppy in Group awards,  3 Puppy in Groups, a Junior in Group, a Runner Up Best in Group.  However our best win was at the 2007 Adelaide Royal Show where Jefferey won Challenge Dog and Best of Breed and Maddie won Puppy of Breed!!! Mid year we attended the Victorian Tibetan Spaniel Show where Aleisha placed third in her class out of six, which was really pleasing for us especially as her breeder Pam was there and showed her for us.  Jefferey and Aleisha are now titled and we now jokingly refer to them as Sir Jefferey and Lady Aleisha!!  We have not yet bred a litter but cannot wait until we can have our own little ones running around and in the show ring.  Maddie is now eligible for Challenge points so we will be working towards getting her titled too.  We would like to acknowledge the help and friendship shown to us by both Judy Gard and Pam Dron.  We also thank Chris Scott for encouraging us into the breed.  We hope you enjoy looking at our photo's of our little brood.

STOP PRESS:  Minx and Jefferey have given us our 1st litter of which we have a little girl we are running on.  Pics of her will be posted as we have them.  Now we anxiously await a litter from Aleisha and Telavier Golden Nugget. Again we will not be rushing to part with any of her offsprings.
