Newfoundland Versus Tibetan Spaniel: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel? Well, you have come to the right place. Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Newfoundland and for the Tibetan Spaniel. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Newfoundland or the Tibetan Spaniel.
Newfoundland versus Tibetan Spaniel: Overview
A very important difference between the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Newfoundland is a giant-sized dog while the Tibetan Spaniel is a tiny-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Newfoundland belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
On the other hand, the Tibetan Spaniel belongs to the Companion Dogs group. Companion Dogs were bred to be companions for humans. Their main goal in life is to be with people, and they will be very sad if left to themselves for long hours day after day.
Newfoundland versus Tibetan Spaniel: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Newfoundland to the Tibetan Spaniel based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel

Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Newfoundland in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Tibetan Spaniel. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Newfoundland is 73 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Tibetan Spaniel is 82 out of 125.
Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Tibetan Spaniel is a better pet than the Newfoundland. So, you should get the Tibetan Spaniel!
Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.

The American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide fair and objective evaluations of the temperaments of dog breeds.
Dog breeds with low temperament scores tend to show unprovoked aggression, they easily panic without quickly recovering from the panic, and they tend to avoid people. However, dog breeds with high temperament scores are not aggressive and are not shy. Also, these dogs are generally friendly and are protective of their owners.
The average temperament score across all dog breeds (over 250 breeds) is 83.7 percent.
With its temperament score of 87.5 percent, the Newfoundland has an above-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
With its temperament score of 91.7 percent, the Tibetan Spaniel has an above-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.

A breakdown of the prices of Tibetan Spaniels
Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Newfoundland puppy or the Tibetan Spaniel puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.
Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.
You may also consider adopting a dog instead of buying a dog.
Adopting the Newfoundland versus Adopting the Tibetan Spaniel
You may consider adopting a dog instead of buying a puppy. Many Newfoundlands and many Tibetan Spaniels are currently available for adoption.
These adorable and cute dogs are waiting in dog shelters hoping that someday someone will rescue them. Furthermore, adoption costs are lesser than the cost of a new puppy. Dog adoption costs are usually around $300. In addition to your local dog shelter, a good place online to see dogs that are available for adoption is petfinder.com.
Below is an adorable Male Newfoundland named Bosley that is currently available for adoption on Petfinder.com. You can find other lovely adoptable Newfoundlands like Bosley on pefinder.com.
Also, like Newfoundlands, Tibetan Spaniels are also available for adoption. For example, Dan The Man is a Male Tibetan Spaniel that is currently available for adoption on petfinder.com. You can find more Tibetan Spaniels like Dan The Man that are up for adoption on petfinder.com.
Willy – Foster Needed! is the name of another Newfoundland (Male) on petfinder.com that is looking for a new home.

The Intelligence of the Newfoundland versus the Intelligence of the Tibetan Spaniel
Newfoundland | Tibetan Spaniel | |
---|---|---|
Intelligence Rank | 34 out of 130 dog breeds | 46 out of 130 dog breeds |
Trainability | Tend To Learn New Commands After 15 To 25 Repetitions | Tend To Learn New Commands After 25 To 40 Repetitions |
Professor Stanley Coren, the famous psychology/neuropsychological professor and, dog lover/trainer measured and ranked the intelligence of about 130 different dog breeds.
According to Prof. Stanley Coren, the total intelligence that a dog demonstrates is the addition of three types of intelligence. These intelligence types are:
Prof. Coren showed that the Working/Obedience Intelligence of different dog breeds can be measured reliably. Thus, he was able to rank different dog breeds based on their Working/Obedience Intelligence.
This is important because according to Prof. Coren, 51 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from its genes while 49 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from the dog`s environmental circumstances.
To rank the intelligence of dog breeds, Prof. Coren employed the help of 208 dog obedience judges in North America to fill out a detailed survey on dog obedience. This number represented more than half of all of these judges in North America at the time. He also employed 63 veterinarians and 14 guard dog experts to collect data on the personality of different dog breeds.
Prof. Coren found that the Newfoundland has an obedience intelligence rank of 34 out of 130 dog breeds. The Newfoundland belongs to the `Above Average Working Dogs` category. This means that Newfoundlands tend to learn new commands after 15 to 25 repetitions.
The Tibetan Spaniel has an obedience intelligence rank of 46 out of 130 dog breeds. The Tibetan Spaniel belongs to the `Average Working/Obedience Intelligence Dogs` category. This means that Tibetan Spaniels tend to learn new commands after 25 to 40 repetitions.
The Newfoundland is more intelligent than the Tibetan Spaniel.
However, Prof. Coren noted that a dog should not be judged based on its intelligence alone, that other factors such as sociability, adorability, and compatibility with the owner are other very important factors that new dog owners need to consider when deciding on a new dog.
The Popularity of Newfoundland versus Popularity of Tibetan Spaniel
Every year, the American Kennel Club (AKC) publishes information on how popular a dog breed is in that particular year. The AKC gets the popularity information of a breed from how many dogs of that breed the owners register with the AKC every year. The AKC collects this data for about 200 dog breeds. The AKC collects this data for purebred dogs only(no mixed or hybrid dogs).
The graphs and the table below show the popularity of the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel over the years.
Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Newfoundland is more popular with dog owners than the Tibetan Spaniel. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Newfoundland is 37 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Tibetan Spaniel is 117 out of about 200 dog breeds.

Health Problems of Newfoundland versus Health Problems of Tibetan Spaniel
Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.
Both the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.
The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.
Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Newfoundland is prone to more genetic health problems than the Tibetan Spaniel.
This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Newfoundland than for the Tibetan Spaniel.
5 health tests are recommended for Newfoundland while 4 tests are recommended for the Tibetan Spaniel.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Newfoundlands and in Tibetan Spaniels.
Newfoundland Health Problems
Newfoundlands are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Newfoundland puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Newfoundland puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Newfoundland breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Newfoundlands for:
You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Newfoundlands here.
Tibetan Spaniel Health Problems
Tibetan Spaniels are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Tibetan Spaniel puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Tibetan Spaniel puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Tibetan Spaniel breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Tibetan Spaniels for:

More Discussions on Health Problems in Newfoundlands and Tibetan Spaniels
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Newfoundland Breed is Shoulder problems.
This is because the Newfoundland ranks 1 out of 22 dog breeds for Shoulder problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 129 Newfoundlands, 13 of them had Shoulder problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Newfoundlands, and how common these diseases are in Newfoundlands relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Tibetan Spaniel Breed is Patella problems.
This is because the Tibetan Spaniel ranks 6 out of 145 dog breeds for Patella problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 295 Tibetan Spaniels, 30 of them had Patella problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Tibetan Spaniels, and how common these diseases are in Tibetan Spaniels relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
The table below lists the common health problems in Newfoundland and in Tibetan Spaniel and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Newfoundland and the Tibetan Spaniel:
Disease | Newfoundland Rank | Tibetan Spaniel Rank |
---|---|---|
Shoulder problems | 1 out of 22 dog breeds | Not Common |
Elbow problems | 15 out of 144 dog breeds | Not Common |
Hips problems | 28 out of 198 dog breeds | 97 out of 198 dog breeds |
Congenital Cardiac problems | 33 out of 159 dog breeds | Not Common |
Advanced Cardiac problems | 36 out of 71 dog breeds | Not Common |
Degenerative Myelopathy problems | 48 out of 70 dog breeds | Not Common |
Eyes problems | 78 out of 182 dog breeds | 104 out of 182 dog breeds |
Thyroid problems | 101 out of 115 dog breeds | Not Common |
Patella problems | 122 out of 145 dog breeds | 6 out of 145 dog breeds |
*To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.
Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
