    Any Tibetan Spaniel experts?

    We have in rescue what is supposed to be a short-haired Tibetan Spaniel :?: :?:

    His owner bought him from a breeder in France, before emigrating to the UK. Apparently she'd bought him from a breeder who specialises short coats ?


    I've never seen or heard of a short coated Tibbie before, has anyone else?


    Despite his pedigree, he looks like a crossbreed to me :smt001

    Found this in an internet search:

    Doesn't mention any variation in coat length at all...

    I think you may be confusing the Tibetan Terrier and the Tibetan Spaniel.

    I looked up Tibetan Spaniel and the above description was what I got. No variation in coat length...

    Is there a short coated version of either breed?

    :lol: :lol: no he's supposed to be a short haired Tibetan Spaniel

    All the Tibetan Spaniels I've seen or heard about, are all the same, they have a semi long coat, this dog has a short coat like that of a lab.

    Not that I know of, often people shave their T.Terriers but the coat is naturally long.

    After over a month of trying to get hold of the breeder I finally managed to speak to her today :grin: Apparently she's the only one that breeds short coated T.Spaniels, that she knows of. She managed this by introducing Griffin (Petit Brabancon) to her breeding line!
    So when I stated she was if fact breeding crossbreeds she got very angry and hung up on me :roll:

    So basically Bobby isn't a short breed Tibetan Spaniel, he's a Tibbie x Griffin ;-)
