Löwchen vs Tibetan Spaniel

The biggest differences

These two breeds are close on every trait: no score differs by more than one point.

They score the same on affection with family, good with young children, good with other dogs, playfulness, energy level, mental stimulation needs.

Which one should you choose?

Pick the Löwchen if you want less dog hair, you want a dog that is easier to train. Pick the Tibetan Spaniel if its looks and size suit you better, since the ratings are close.

Ratings are general breed tendencies from the AKC. Every dog is an individual, so meet the dog, and its parents if you can, before you decide. Not sure? Try the breed selector.
