Lhasa Apsas are small and intelligent dogs. Like any dog, given the proper attention and care they can make a wonderful and loyal companion.
The Lhasa Apsa breed is traced back hundreds of years ago in Tibet. Lhasa Apsas are known for having the ability to be able to tell the difference between a stranger and friend. That is why they were mainly used as an inner guard dog in palaces and monasteries in Tibet. They have a heightened sense of hearing and they are very smart little dogs.
lhasa Apsas have a big personality and rarely leave you with a dull moment. To own a breed such as the Lhasa Apsa, you must have patience and understanding. Many dogs are luckily easy to train but the Lhasa Apsa is a bit more complex when it comes to their discipline. If being overly strict and firm while doing so; they may rebel against you.
