Some years ago the Tibetan Spaniel Association commissioned a video recording of the Tibetan Spaniel breed standard. The voice over was provided by the late Pamela Cross-Stern, a very well known and respected all-rounder and a great admirer of the Tibetan Spaniel. The video shows many different dogs including several “greats” of that era.

As the years progressed videos became obsolete and the recording was transferred to DVD. Now we find DVD’s are no longer in use and so it has been converted and put onto the breed website.

The presentation goes through the breed standard point by point with dogs illustrating each one making it easier for prospective judges, or those interested in the breed to understand. The film is approximately 15 minutes long. In any event the film is a wonderful historic record of the dogs and people involved.

For those interested in judging the breed and looking for further education there is a breed specific film on the RKC website. To access this you need to join the RKC Academy which is very straightforward. The link is:
