About the Lhasa Apso

The Lhasa Apso is a small dog breed originating in Tibet. Adult dogs typically weigh 12 to 18 pounds and live 12 to 15 years. The breed is described as independent, confident, reserved-with-strangers, loyal.

Households wanting a small, independent watchdog and willing to commit to daily brushing or a short clip. Families with very young kids expecting a cuddly lap dog, or owners who won't keep up with the long coat.

Adult Lhasa Apsos need about 30 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 40 minutes. The coat is long-coated with low shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
