General: Veterinary advice does NOT suggest that a bitch is any better or healthier if she has a litter.

Anyone who breeds a litter should accept an on-going commitment for each puppy for life. Breeding Tibetan Spaniels is not an easy option, it is time consuming and often is not financially rewarding.
It is important that members should only breed a litter if they have the time and facilities available to devote proper care and attention to the well being of the dam and the puppies.
If a member wishes to breed a litter he/she should be reasonably sure of finding homes for the puppies. Tibetan Spaniels are not a well known breed and suitable homes can be difficult to find.

BREED STANDARDS: All breeding stock should be Kennel Club registered and hold clear B.V.A. Progressive Retinal Atrophy certificates. They should be healthy and follow closely the official Kennel Club Standard and should only be bred from with the objective of improving the overall standard of the breed. Equal thought should be given to temperament, health, type and soundness. Nervous or aggressive dogs are not satisfactory as pets or breeding stock. Members should refrain from and discourage breeding from inferior Tibetan Spaniels.
WELFARE OF THE BITCH: No bitch should have an excessive number of litters (it is recommended that not more than 4 or 5) and no bitch should be mated at every season. No bitch should have a litter before they are sufficiently mature and preferably not before their second season.
STUD DOGS: Only entire dogs should be used at stud. Members who own stud dogs should be aware of the need to improve the breed and enhance the reputation of the sires. They should refuse stud services to inferior specimens of the breed and to people who do not have the time, facilities or responsible attitudes for caring for dam and puppies. Only Kennel Club registered bitches with a  clear B.V.A. Progressive Retinal Atrophy certificate should be accepted.
Owners of stud dogs should not provide stud services to laboratories, pet shops or dealers or to persons known to sell puppies to any of them.
CONDUCT: Members should conduct themselves at all times to reflect credit on dog ownership. Officers and Committee members are always ready to help with members' problems wherever possible.

PUPPIES
PUPPY SALES: Puppy sellers should always be aware of legislation e.g. The Trades Description Act.
No Tibetan Spaniel should knowingly be sold to laboratories, pet shops or dealers or to anyone known to sell to them, or to allow them to be offered as prizes in a raffle or competition.
Prospective buyers of puppies should be checked thoroughly for suitability and ability to provide long term homes with a happy and healthy life. They should be advised of the characteristics of the breed, grooming and exercise requirements and the need for a social environment.
PUPPY INFORMATION: No puppy should leave the dam before 7/8 weeks of age. The breeder to provide for each puppy:-
a diet sheet
