The Lhasa Apso is a shaggy little dog that looks like a small version
of the Old English Sheepdog. It has the characteristics of keen
watchfulness, and very hardy. It is a very intelligent, lively,
friendly and affectionate little dog. This breed is easily trained
and responsive to kindness. Its beautiful dark eyes are appealing
as it waits for some mark of appreciation for its efforts. The Lhasa
Apso is happy, usually long lived, adaptable and makes a good family
dog. The Lhasa Apso is a hardy, assertive dog. It makes a good pet;
it is lively, friendly and devoted. It has a fine sense of hearing.
This dog makes a very good watchdog with a loud, persistent bark,
which gives the impression to intruders of a much larger dog. It
is naturally suspicious of strangers. It may be noisy and too nervous
around children and strangers. It is affectionate with its master,
but will not tolerate rough or badly behaved children. It responds
to motivational training. It may be obstinate, but generally it
is very obedient to its master. This breed is inclined to fight
if it is not the only dog in the house. Dislikes being alone and
can be snappish if surprised or peeved. The Lhasa Apso doesn’t demand
much exercise. It loves to walk and scramble about, but it will
be fitter and happier if given regular opportunities to run free
and play. |
