About Tibetan Spaniel Health Net
Our Beginning
In 1990 Deb Henson started the Tibetan Spaniel Pedigree Database. Jan Allinder created the Tibetan Spaniel Network website in 1996. Recognizing the importance of having a resource for breeders to make informed decisions, the Pedigree Database was incorporated into the Tibetan Spaniel Network in 2000.
In 2023, Diana Gerba lost her boy Marco and vowed that part of his legacy would be to further evolve the database to include more health data. To ensure their joint endeavor continues into the future a group of dedicated Tibbie lovers joined together and have formed the Tibetan Spaniel Health Net Inc., a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to maintaining an international health and pedigree database through voluntary submission
