The Lhasa Apso is an ancient dog breed which was first developed in Tibet from the Tibetan Terrier. This breed was highly regarded for its watchdog skills in palaces and monasteries. It is a very alert dog who is not distracted easily. Today's Lhasa Apso is no longer a palace guard but primarily a loving and easy-going family companion.
The Lhasa Apso is a friendly, playful and at times mischievous dog. They love to explore and are fun to be around. They are eager for your attention and enjoy the company of their family. They have warm demeanors and are easy to approach. This breed does make a good family pet and is not known for aggressive behavior.
The Lhasa Apso has a gorgeous thick, long and dense coat. This breed comes in many colors, including honey, black, white, and slate. Daily brushing is a very important part of this dog’s care routine which will help to keep this dog looking and feeling his best. Weekly to bi-weekly baths are suggested and will allow for a shiny and healthy coat.
The Lhasa Apso is a semi-energetic dog that benefits from a healthy diet. A balance of meat-based protein and micronutrients, as well as healthy carbs and fats, will keep your Lhasa Apso feeling and looking his best. Many Lhasa Apso owners recommend feeding this breed two meals each day, spaced about twelve hours apart. This will help to ensure the dog is provided with the proper nutrients he needs. It is also crucial to remember to provide your dog with proper dental care. It is suggested that his teeth get cleaned a minimum of three times a week. Failing to keep his teeth clean can contribute to health issues. Although properly cleaning his teeth will take some practice to get good at, in time, this will become easier for you and your pup.
