Carolina Dog versus Tibetan Spaniel: Overview
A very important difference between the Carolina Dog and the Tibetan Spaniel is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Carolina Dog is a medium-sized dog while the Tibetan Spaniel is a tiny-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Carolina Dog belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell. Dogs that belong to the Hound Group have strong prey drives and often will stop at nothing to catch what they are pursuing.
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.

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 Carolina Dog is 73 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Tibetan Spaniel is 82 out of 125.

We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
