BREED DESCRIPTION
The Lhasa Apso is said to have been in existence since 800 BC. In Tibetan homes and monasteries, the giant Tibetan
Mastiff regarded the outdoor, while the Lhasa guarded the indoor.
The Lhasa Apso is gay and assertive, loyal and
loving to those it knows but suspicious of strangers.
The Lhasa Apso also enjoys its playtime. It is a good
watchdog and its small size makes him a most agreeable city pet whose exercise needs can be met with a short, daily
walk.
The ideal size for dogs is 10-11 in, 25-28 cm.
The crowning glory of the Lhasa Apso is the long,
heavy, straight, hard coat.
That long, glorious coat needs almost daily grooming to keep it free of mats and
since it reaches to the ground, it needs occasional cleansing with suitable coat-care products.
