Tibetan Spaniel Breed Overview

The Tibetan Spaniel, often affectionately called the “Tibbie,” is an ancient companion breed originating from the Himalayan monasteries of Tibet. These small, intelligent dogs were bred as watchdogs and companions for Buddhist monks, often perched on monastery walls to keep watch over the surroundings. Known for their alertness, loyalty, and affectionate nature with family, they also have a streak of independence that reflects their heritage.

The Tibetan Spaniel is a small breed, typically weighing 9–15 lbs as an adult. While they are not prone to extreme growth-related issues like giant breeds, tracking their weight is important to ensure they stay within a healthy range, avoid obesity, and develop strong muscles and joints. Their relatively quick puppy growth makes early monitoring essential (American Kennel Club).

Age	Avg. Weight (Male)	Avg. Weight (Female)
4 weeks	1.5–2.5 lbs (0.7–1.1 kg)	1.3–2.3 lbs (0.6–1 kg)
8 weeks	3–4.5 lbs (1.4–2 kg)	2.8–4.2 lbs (1.3–1.9 kg)

How Much Bigger Will My Tibetan Spaniel Puppy Get?

Most Tibetan Spaniels reach 50% of their adult weight by 3–4 months and are close to full adult size by 10–12 months. They may still fill out slightly in muscle and coat after their first birthday.

A rule of thumb: Double their weight at 16 weeks to estimate their adult size.

Note: Unlike giant breeds, Tibetan Spaniels have a fast growth curve, so early nutrition and activity balance are critical to healthy development.

Tibetan Spaniel Growth Tips

Nutrition

• Feed a high-quality small-breed puppy food to support rapid growth and a healthy metabolism.
• Offer 3–4 small meals daily until 6 months old, then transition to 2 meals per day.
• Avoid overfeeding—Tibbies can gain weight easily, which may lead to joint strain.

Exercise

• Daily play sessions and short walks are ideal.
• Avoid excessive jumping from high furniture while young to protect their joints.
• Provide mental enrichment, such as puzzle toys, to satisfy their intelligent, curious nature.

Health Watch

• Tibetan Spaniels can be prone to patellar luxation (kneecap dislocation) and progressive retinal atrophy.
• Keep them lean to reduce strain on their legs.
• Regular vet checkups help detect and manage any early growth concerns (Tibetan Spaniel Club of America).
