What's the breed of dog that came from the monks? (usually black and white tufty hair)





They only left the monastary if the Monks gave puppies as presents.... what breed are they?What's the breed of dog that came from the monks? (usually black and white tufty hair)?
Historically, two groups of monks have been responsible for breeding and training dogs. The canons of Saint Augustine (technically not monks, but members of a religious order) have raised Saint Bernards at their hospice in the Swiss Alps for more than two centuries. The dogs are still bred there, although they no longer perform their well-known rescues of travelers lost in the Pass 鈥?airplanes and snowmobiles have limited the need for dogs in that capacity. But occasionally the canons and their dogs still do go out on a search. The famed brandy cask is a myth. It is probably based on the fact that the lost traveler, once found, was usually offered brandy by the Brother who accompanied the search dog. But it was the Brother who carried the brandy, not the dog.





In Tibet quite a different group of monks developed the Lhasa Apso dogs. They raised them in their monasteries and frequently gave them as gifts to nobles. It's interesting to note the disparity in size between these two monastic breeds, as well as that two quite dissimilar groups of monks found working with dogs a fitting monastic occupation. We can attest that raising and training dogs fits into monastic life very well. Dog care takes a lot of labor and affection, and monks usually have both in abundance. On another level, the dog typifies in many ways the mature monk: loyal, steadfast, willing to please, willing to learn.What's the breed of dog that came from the monks?

If you are thinking of the small Monastery dog then Tibetan Spaniel.


Hope this helps
You're probably thinking of the Tibetian Spaniel, which is the smaller of the two, and comes in black and white, along with other colors.

I remember that Tufty was a squirrel, and the main objective was kid and road safety. In fact, I had a Tufty badge as part of my membership. Tell me I was not alone in this..! Oh innocent days gone by..Was anyone here a member of 'The Tufty Club'?
No, - you're NOT alone, my friend! I was among a group of about FIFTY, or so, - all, from the same school, - who joined when we went to our primary school! Our Head teacher sent off a MASS APPLICATION, containing all the relevant details, and, - within a few days, - all of us were walking around the school, proudly, wearing our Tufty Club BADGES!Was anyone here a member of 'The Tufty Club'?
God help me yes. I'd forgotten all about that. And I think I was one of the last ovalteenies. I'm so old.
Could not afford a stamp to join.true.
Got run over when I went to post my application
No I wasn't a member,I don't remember if he was a red or a grey squirrel,or even if he was a squirrel at all.i think he was,if he was red I wish i had been a member but if he was grey i am glad because the little blighters chased all the little red squirrels away from here.
