About
Lhasa Apso
The Lhasa Apso is a non-sporting dog breed that was originally bred in Tibet in order to guard monasteries and alert monks regarding any intruders who had entered their monastery. The Lhasa Apso
(46) is a happy, lively, assertive breed that
can be wary of those he doesn’t know.
This small dog is able to live in an apartment
or small home, but loves to run and play either
in the house or in a fenced yard. They enjoy
daily walks.
They can be stubborn, so
early socialization and obedience training
are important. Lhasa Apsos are not tolerant
of children and bond to one person. They have
a fine sense of hearing and warn of strangers.
They travel well and dislike being alone.
