I got my first Lhasa Apso, Lopsy, when he was about 6 months old in 1977. He lived to be 22 years old. I still love and miss him. One night, in tears, I talked to him all night and told him I wish we could have a do-over and spend more time together. The next day, my sister sent me a picture of what looked like my Lopsy. She wrote, "Needs a home." I replied, "MINE!" Romeo is, in every way, the spitting image of Lopsy -- looks, personality, size, everything. Family members who knew Lopsy way back then say the same thing. I personally believe in reincarnation and Romeo's history, before he came to me, totally fits with what I would have expected for him to arrive in my arms. When my sister and I met a week later for me to get Romeo, she and her friend thought he was ill during their trip because he was so still and quiet. But, when I pulled up, got out of my van, and walked to hers, she began rolling down her window. Just as I reached the van, Romeo literally sailed out of her window, into my arms, and kissed me like he had been missing me for years. I still tear up thinking about it. My sister started laughing and said, "Well, I guess he wasn't feeling sick!" When we got home and I let Romeo out of the car, he ran straight to our (his and mine) front door for me to let him into our home. He's spoiled rotten and has me and anyone who comes around him well trained to his bidding. I love him to the moon and back.
I have a lasa apso girl. She is so clever an does so many tricks. She dances, rolls over, does high five, jumps over fences my daughter builds an goes under,. You really can learn these dogs anything. If i just go to put somthing outside in the bin an come back, she goes crazy like ive been away for years not seconds. Very loving an loyal dogs.
I just rescued a Lhasa apso about 2 weeks ago. He is about 3 years old. Have had dogs all my life but never a Lhasa. I recognize the characteristics described below. Like his bark, he is 18 lbs but has the bark of a 60 lbs dog. He is suspicious of strangers and you have to earn his trust. Amazing little guy! I've learned a lot from the remarks of Lhasa owners here.
I had 2 Lhasa Apso until recently. They were a male and female from the same litter I named Bart & Maggie. Both were very smart but Maggie was really smart and demanding when she wanted something. She lived over 13 and a half years. Bart was more laid back but protected Maggie and I. He was a big Lhasa and reached 25 pounds at peak. He had a pretty loud bark for a small dog. He loved to just be with us. I just lost him after over 16 years.
Lhasa Apso is my favorite breed. Your description of Lhasa temperament and attitude i agree with 100%. This breed is fantastic if you appreciate an independent dog who is also loving and playful with an emphasis on independent. It is amazing to have a relationship with a dog that is built on trust and mutual respect…a Lhasa that trusts and respects its owner shows this by their willingness to obey and please the owner. A challenge for the person who is willing to undertake it but the reward of it is the best human/dog relationship that can be experienced.
Picked out my first puppy at age 3 from a local pet store, a Lhasa apso. Named him Gizmo(it was the 80’s and he was stinkin’ adorable just like the gremlin); kept his hair shorter length. I loved his shaggy look. Not sure of the exact year, but know he lived for about 20 years. RiP my Gizmo❤️
My Cooper is the best dog I have EVER had the pleasure to spend time with. Honestly, I was raised around "Bird Dogs," or working dogs.. and this lil dude has stolen my heart. My ex insisted on him while our daughter was little, but he definitely took to me. I cant express how much he does for me, i love him to bits! He's very smart, very very smart. He definitely thinks hes a big dog, he loves to play in small spurts but plays hard.. he thinks hes so tough. lol. He's fairly big, a good 20-25lbs or so. He's VERY weary of new people, and they definitely have to grow on him. Hes never bit anyone but he makes them wonder for sure. I've never had to put him on a leash (unless we are somewhere with other dogs and people who I dont know how well trained or nice their pups are,) and he does SO well. He never strays far from me, and always seems to just be in-tune with Dad and what Im up to. I cant express the love i have for him enough, he is the greatest dog ever.
The best dog ever: very intelligent, very loving, very protective. I love Lhasa Apso dogs, had 2 in my life, the first was a princess - very independent lady, the second was my soulmate- he will just look at me and know everything- very clever guffball ❤️ He never peed on carpets, when he was a baby he will go to the bathroom and pee on the floor ( always beside the carpet - imagine that !!!) after a walk outside on a raining day he will go straight to the bathroom and wait.... the first time I was like.... what does he want in there..... well ofcourse to dry his paws !!! He did it by himself from day one! He always hold himself the whole night.... he was the best dog ever and the smartest one! I miss him dearly ! ❤️😊
i had a Llasho Apso for almost 17 years. We just had to put him down. He was really sick. He was an awesome dog. Never was so attached to an animal and i have had cats and dogs since i was a baby. He took part of my heart with him, and he left part of his. Love you Gizmo.
I now have my second Lhasa the first was my "shadow" and so he was named the second I got when my son was dying from a long illness and I knew I needed that emotionally tuned dog by my side to survive. He is Toby a stubborn spoiled therapy dog in training and my heart as well.
My Lhasa Apso Tsih Tzu mixed is the King of my house as he carries himself and demands to be. He was gifted to us when he was 3 years old and is now a 20 year old boy, still in good health except for ear infection and a cancer lump when he was 13 years old. A small cute dog with a big personality; 1. He likes only fresh and gourmet food (prawns, mango his favourites) 2. Daily walk is a must for him. He will throw tantrum if he does not get his walk 3. He is super mischievous and funny with new tricks up his sleeves every other day. 4. He love babies and is super tolerant towards young children. He can tolerate them pulling his hair. He is not friendly towards other dogs and is warm to strangers only if he liked them. 5. He is super cautious as he does not take food from strangers. 6. He is super quiet most of the time but has a loud and ferocious bark if strangers take things out of the house. 7. He loves to be praised and will behave only if I am fierce with my threats 8. He sleeps, eats, drinks, walk and poo on fixed time schedule He is the master... hahaha...
Most amazing dogs I have 4 of these beasts will protect at anything and are by far the best small dog strong,fairly fast, loyal, sharp loud bark when someone comes in! Recommend these
mine does this after like 50 minutes on rough days (we walk one hour a day) lol she will walk but once she sees we're almost home she's like nope I''m done
Wow! All you said about their traits are so true! I can't believe they are ancient dogs. Our dogs at home are all strong and suspicious when it comes to other people. They actually bark all day even though there are nobody outside the house or we haven't heard any sound. And yes, they are really stubborn dogs but loves to run around and play. They are so sweet as well 🥰 Actually, we are lucky to have lhasa apsos. They are trustworthy and helpful. Better get one than getting shih tzus (just an opinion) 😊
love my lhasa all of what you have said is true. My girl is funny and stubborn and strong. They seem to pick one favorite person in the family to be loyal to. That person is me in my family. The dog will snap if the kids try and pick her up from laying next to me. But again she is very good at barking at intruders and very very sweet. She was an excellent dog to have during the Corona virus lock down for my kids to play with on rainy days. love love my Lhasa
Today is my Madi's first day in heaven (Dec 5, 2020). She was loving, lively, healthy, happy and fun. I am forever grateful for my "pound" baby. There is a giant hole in my house right now and my arms feel so heavy as they will never hold her beautiful soul again on this earth. Although my Madi was a lhasa-poo, she was more Lhasa than poo. What a great breed!
My parents had one, then I came along and stole her throne as the queen of the house. She hated me. My dad refers to her as mans best acquaintance. She had a good spoiled life.
HI I m having Lhasa Also, 3 generations ,my first dear Kuki was born in 1990,he lived for 10years. Then I was having his son Tush who lived for 13 years and at present his two sons named Shepu and Frisky were born on 11/1/01 now they are 20years and 5months, in good health. All male I kept, they are my angels, can't think my life without them. How can I post their lovely photos? But now my great grand children are becoming weak but I enjoy to take care no it's my responsibility, I m 69 and don't want to die before them. It's my wish. 🙏
Wow, 20 years is amazing health, especially if they are still healthy! I think there is no way how to post photos on TH-cam, but you can send me them in email if you want to :) rocadog@email.com
Suspicious things that my parents' lhasa apso makes sure to warn everyone about: -people shouting to each other across the house -phones ringing -mail trucks, or trucks that look too much like mail trucks -ice cream vans -children running down the street -children biking down the street -children riding scooters down the street -jehova's witnesses -joggers -tall men in hats -did I mention people trying to shout at each other from accross the house, dammit dog, I can't hear what he's asking for now All in all, he's lucky he's so cute.
We got our Lhasa at a pound. It was love at first sight. We can't imagine how he got there although we now know he loives to run off. We think it is a form of pplaying to him. He was flea bitten, tick and dirt but
My lhasa is a recue. her mum was pure Lhasa ....dont know about the dad.....but she is the most patient kind and sweet dog......but incredibly aloof....she doesnt greet anyone until she gets to know them.......rather afraid of other dogs as she was attacked as a baby.....but I adore her and she is always with me.........she gets fed up of training so I stopped.....but she will sit patiently waiting for a treat...........at night she loves to sit outside and I like to think she is meditating!
I have a lhasa apso and he knows how to pee in the restroom but sometimes he pee to the floor. They're really a stubborn but intelligent. My dog is picky and he wants to get fed he sometimes don't like to eat alone. And yeah the confusion about lhasa apso and shih tzu, when we bought him we thought that he is shih tzu because that's what the seller said but when we go to the pet store the doctor said that he is lhasa apso and she explained that the lhasa apso have a long snout while the shih tzu are short. edited: 6/24/21
I have 2 dogs. Male and female. Male is a Lhasa and the female one is Zhih Tzu. If you would determine which is a Lhasa and a Zhih, it is very hard and difficult. They differ in personality. Lhasa are very suspicious to new people but very loyal and sweet to me while my Zhih are very very friendly to everyone to the point that she can be stolen without any effort. No one could enter the house if the Lhasa were on the door unless I would carry him. I always laugh when my friends says, "Aww so cute and fluffy!" and try to approach him. My Lhasa would be angry and bark at them. My friends would immediately back-off. 😂😂😂😂. So they would prefer to pet my baby Shih coz she is very friendly and I seldom hear her bark.
I have a video about differences between Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso and i have to say that your dogs have the typical personalities :-D Friendly and welcoming Shih Tzu and protective and suspicious Lhasa Apso :) You can watch the video here if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/4jOLgBinoGo/w-d-xo.html
I am sorry for your loss.. It is impossible to say what was the reason, the 3 reasons why dogs die at young age are injuries (hit by car for example), cancer and different congenital diseases..
My Lhasa has a police record for almost taking someone's eye out. He's a rescue, and we've worked at teaching him how to play, how to snuggle, and how to be less aggressive. It's been 2 yrs, and he's much happier now. We keep his hair short so we can see his eyes and mouth because we still wanna know if he's showing teeth. He's too cute for his own good.
Our little boy is named Rex! I rescued him at age one. He had been gifted from a daughter to a mother. The mother was 90, and couldn’t keep up with him. These puppies are full of energy! His spirit and joyful attitude appealed to me immediately. The only problem was I didn’t like the name! Didn’t suit him. So for six months I tried various names. He wouldn’t respond. Of dear, he’s not very smart! But finally I just gave up and called him Rex. He immediately reacted and came to me with his tail wagging! Boy, it took a long time for her to learn my name, thought Rex’ Now, ten years later he is a part of our family in a way no dog has ever been. Very smart, loving, and has us trained exactly to his needs! He’s a joy. Has been very healthy. Does require grooming for our lifestyle. He’s like our little child and totally obedient at home , and a total dog at the park! He thinks he’s big in a 16 pound body!
My Lhasa is stubborn, hates the postman or anyone who looks like they might b coming to my door, always hanging around my ankles 😡 but very devoted and loving 🥰
Kindly guide us about the health problems with lhasa apso..and the hair fall.i want to adopt one but i am not able to decide..though i just love the breed
I’ve owned four different Apso’s. Each had their own distinct personality, but all d them will be overly protective of their owner IF they are not obedience trained or thoroughly socialized at an early age. Once an Apso knows that you are the Alpha in the family there isn’t a command or trick they can’t do. I have never owned a dog who bit or growled....if they do it usually indicates inbreeding or just bad training. All of my dogs loved adults, children and other animals and were affectionate and funny. My only remaining Apso is a 13 year old former show dog ( got her championship by age 18 mo) who became the family pet and farm dog. She herds 35 outdoor cats that live on our farm when it’s time for them to be fed, then she comes in to eat her food.
Can a lhasa apso stay in a dog house with an ac I will give it ample of exercise and take very good care of it can it stay in the dog house all the time happily
My mom's dog was a one person dog and the dog was a jerk. But he did have moments that were fun. Would play the "Gunna get Mommy" game he's act like he's going to tear you apart but he loved it.. The "Gunna Get" game became any thing, if you pulled and shook your own pant leg he's come at you like he's going to bite growl show teeth but he was actually playing. There were times if I didn't play that game with him he would roll on my feet until I did. He was like that from day one too, over protective of my mom.. His siblings were happy playful dogs, friends of my parents got the dogs at the same time from same person as my folks. Would not eat dog food, refused a leash and would always attack this German Shepherd we had.
I know! Mine is 11 or 12 right now and is so spry. When we go to the dog park people are shocked to learn how old he is. I'm hopeful he'll be the first one to make it to 30 because he is just the best cuddle companion of all time.
Is it necessary to neuter our lhasa apso pets? I am very worried and not able to decide. The internet is full of contradicting statements.Kindly share your opinion.
I have an elder lhasa, and I swear she's an reincarnated Buddhist monk (and I don't even believe in reincarnation!) Zen personified, always looks like she's meditating, since she was a puppy 😂
I'm walking a Lhasa Apso puppy for an elderly couple in their 80s. It's very sad .The couple are incapable of looking after a puppy and he needs to be rehomed . He mainly gets shut away in the kitchen.I am paid to walk him 3 times a week,which is totally inadequate.I walk him an extra two days without payment . He has a lot of anxiety because he has largely been left on his own ,without play or stimulation . He is a lovely little boy,gentle and timid .He needs a good loving forever home . I find it unconscionable that a breeder would sell a puppy to an elderly disabled couple in their advanced years . I also find it utterly selfish of the couple to get a puppy knowing they are incapable of looking after him .They are not even capable of looking after themselves ,and need carers every day .
I feel sorry for the dog. Sadly, a lot of breeders do not care about the dog, if they get the payment, they would sell the dog to everyone.. You are great for walking the Lhasa more than you paid for.. Will the owners give away the dog soon?
Well,last week they asked me to find a new home for him ,which I did.Then they changed their mind and set a new deadline for this Wednesday to find a new home for him .Although I believe they will probably say they are keeping him .which leaves him with a bleak future .
That's so nice of you .But I have now managed to get Charlie rehomed with Scottish Lhasa Apso rescue .where he has settled in well with a lot of other Lhasa Apsos.
My Llasa Aspo was given to me as a gift from my sister after my wife passed away, her previous owner passed away with the her still in the house. I’m so grateful for how my Llasa has helped me. She is so playful and she knows instinctively when I’m down. Love her to bits 😊❤️👍
And if she hears somebody knock on the door and I answer it, she will sit on the sofa barking to let them know she is there, if I invite the visitor in then she will get up to investigate who they are and what threat they may be 😂
@@Lhasa1818 it is part of the socialization :) you should connect these things (grooming, bathing, visiting strangers and other dogs) with something positive. So especially when you start with the grooming, you must prase the puppy and give it treats during the grooming.
@@Rocadog Thankyou so much.Kindly help me with one more doubt of mine...can we leave him at home..for like 2..3 hours alone at home......once a week... Since where i live..there are no kennels near by...
@@Lhasa1818 The best way how to learn dog to be home alone is to slowly prolong the time you left him alone. For example first day, left your dog home alone for 10 minutes, than 20 minutes... When the dog is okay with it, prolong the away time again. If it will be a little puppy and you will leave it home alone, be prepared that they can chew something or pee in the apartment. You should make sure to exercise them before you leave and walk them out before. Or you can consider a crate.
I own a Lhasa Apso and whenever I go out at least one person in the whole area asks: " Oh is your dog a Shih Tzu? " But the way I can tell a Lhasa from a Shih Tzu ( with this part no offence to Shih Tzu lover's ) to me Shih Tzu's look like they ran into a brick wall..NO OFFENCE TO SHIH TZU LOVER'S!!
I got my first Lhasa Apso, Lopsy, when he was about 6 months old in 1977. He lived to be 22 years old. I still love and miss him. One night, in tears, I talked to him all night and told him I wish we could have a do-over and spend more time together. The next day, my sister sent me a picture of what looked like my Lopsy. She wrote, "Needs a home." I replied, "MINE!" Romeo is, in every way, the spitting image of Lopsy -- looks, personality, size, everything. Family members who knew Lopsy way back then say the same thing. I personally believe in reincarnation and Romeo's history, before he came to me, totally fits with what I would have expected for him to arrive in my arms. When my sister and I met a week later for me to get Romeo, she and her friend thought he was ill during their trip because he was so still and quiet. But, when I pulled up, got out of my van, and walked to hers, she began rolling down her window. Just as I reached the van, Romeo literally sailed out of her window, into my arms, and kissed me like he had been missing me for years. I still tear up thinking about it. My sister started laughing and said, "Well, I guess he wasn't feeling sick!" When we got home and I let Romeo out of the car, he ran straight to our (his and mine) front door for me to let him into our home. He's spoiled rotten and has me and anyone who comes around him well trained to his bidding. I love him to the moon and back.
I love this!! ❤️
Is the Lhasa Apso your favourite dog breed?

My Lhasa was born on my birthday so I named. Her MITU. She was my only pet & that suited us both. Miss her still ... She lived 15yrs.
Wow! The qualities you’ve mentioned, my dog has it all! I hope he gets to live past 15 years. ❤️

Wow, 20 years is amazing health, especially if they are still healthy! I think there is no way how to post photos on TH-cam, but you can send me them in email if you want to :) rocadog@email.com
So guards is the reason my lhasa always turns into a nutcase and barks like a maniac when she sees somebody 20 feet away from the window
Yes, they were bred for centuries by Buddhist monks to be watchdogs and alert their owners when something suspicious is going on
I have a Lhasa Apso dog and it was gifted to me
👍👍
Suspicious things that my parents' lhasa apso makes sure to warn everyone about:
-people shouting to each other across the house
-phones ringing
-mail trucks, or trucks that look too much like mail trucks
-ice cream vans
-children running down the street
-children biking down the street
-children riding scooters down the street
-jehova's witnesses
-joggers
-tall men in hats
-did I mention people trying to shout at each other from accross the house, dammit dog, I can't hear what he's asking for now
All in all, he's lucky he's so cute.
Thank you for the video it was very helpful for my report.
You are welcome :)
We got our Lhasa at a pound. It was love at first sight. We can't imagine how he got there although we now know he loives to run off. We think it is a form of pplaying to him. He was flea bitten, tick and dirt but
You are great for saving him!
YES i Love
Lhasa apso and my dog is also Lhasa apso
👍👍
My lhasa is a recue. her mum was pure Lhasa ....dont know about the dad.....but she is the most patient kind and sweet dog......but incredibly aloof....she doesnt greet anyone until she gets to know them.......rather afraid of other dogs as she was attacked as a baby.....but I adore her and she is always with me.........she gets fed up of training so I stopped.....but she will sit patiently waiting for a treat...........at night she loves to sit outside and I like to think she is meditating!
Well they originated in Tibet and they were developed by Buddhist monks, so maybe she really is meditating :-D BTW you are great for resucing her :)
Thank you for this vide. Very helpful for me.
I am glad that the video was helpful :)
I love them
Me too 👍
My Lhasa is so loving. She is so clever 👍
👍👍
I have a lhasa apso and he knows how to pee in the restroom but sometimes he pee to the floor. They're really a stubborn but intelligent. My dog is picky and he wants to get fed he sometimes don't like to eat alone. And yeah the confusion about lhasa apso and shih tzu, when we bought him we thought that he is shih tzu because that's what the seller said but when we go to the pet store the doctor said that he is lhasa apso and she explained that the lhasa apso have a long snout while the shih tzu are short.

I have 2 dogs. Male and female. Male is a Lhasa and the female one is Zhih Tzu. If you would determine which is a Lhasa and a Zhih, it is very hard and difficult. They differ in personality. Lhasa are very suspicious to new people but very loyal and sweet to me while my Zhih are very very friendly to everyone to the point that she can be stolen without any effort. No one could enter the house if the Lhasa were on the door unless I would carry him. I always laugh when my friends says, "Aww so cute and fluffy!" and try to approach him. My Lhasa would be angry and bark at them. My friends would immediately back-off. 😂😂😂😂.
So they would prefer to pet my baby Shih coz she is very friendly and I seldom hear her bark.
I have a video about differences between Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso and i have to say that your dogs have the typical personalities :-D Friendly and welcoming Shih Tzu and protective and suspicious Lhasa Apso :) You can watch the video here if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/4jOLgBinoGo/w-d-xo.html
My Lhasa is so corny and hugs without being asked
👍👍
My lasha Opso dies 5 months ago 😭 he was only six years old we don't know how he died do you have any ideas
I am sorry for your loss.. It is impossible to say what was the reason, the 3 reasons why dogs die at young age are injuries (hit by car for example), cancer and different congenital diseases..
My Lhasa is 12, she is beautiful, loyal, her name is Zsa Zsa and a good guard dog!!!! She is my heart 💓💖💞💜🥰💜
👍👍
My Lhasa has a police record for almost taking someone's eye out. He's a rescue, and we've worked at teaching him how to play, how to snuggle, and how to be less aggressive. It's been 2 yrs, and he's much happier now. We keep his hair short so we can see his eyes and mouth because we still wanna know if he's showing teeth. He's too cute for his own good.
You are great for taking care of him and training him!
@@Rocadog I wish it was as easy to train people as it is to train dogs.
My sis has one and i love them so mucg
👍👍
Do Lhasa Apso's like other dogs?
we have a lops opso we have had her for 14 years and everything you said is how she is
Awesome!
Our little boy is named Rex! I rescued him at age one. He had been gifted from a daughter to a mother. The mother was 90, and couldn’t keep up with him. These puppies are full of energy! His spirit and joyful attitude appealed to me immediately. The only problem was I didn’t like the name! Didn’t suit him. So for six months I tried various names. He wouldn’t respond. Of dear, he’s not very smart! But finally I just gave up and called him Rex. He immediately reacted and came to me with his tail wagging! Boy, it took a long time for her to learn my name, thought Rex’
Now, ten years later he is a part of our family in a way no dog has ever been. Very smart, loving, and has us trained exactly to his needs! He’s a joy. Has been very healthy. Does require grooming for our lifestyle. He’s like our little child and totally obedient at home , and a total dog at the park! He thinks he’s big in a 16 pound body!
You are great for rescuing him!
Can anyone suggest me name for dog breed lhasa apso??
Male or female? For male i like names Andy and Rony, for girl i like Lilly :)
They are good dogs. Ours liked to heard goats and sheep, climb mountainous trails. He was not afraid of heights.
👍👍
My Lhasa is stubborn, hates the postman or anyone who looks like they might b coming to my door, always hanging around my ankles 😡 but very devoted and loving 🥰
It is quite normal that they have this territorial and protective nature..
Can you do one about the Miniature Schnauzer? Thanks so much!
Here is my video about Min. Schnauzers: th-cam.com/video/1e6WpIt_5kA/w-d-xo.html
@@Rocadog OMG! Thanks SOO much!
Can you do a video regarding Maltese vs Lhasa Apso
I am going on vacation right now, but when i am back i will try to make it :)
Thank you
It's cute 🤗🤗🤗☺️
Totally!
My Lhasa is amazing, but little stubborn. He's trained very well, when he's tired he's goes to bed.
👍👍
Kindly guide us about the health problems with lhasa apso..and the hair fall.i want to adopt one but i am not able to decide..though i just love the breed
My Lhasa Apso is 9 weeks old , we have only had him 2 days so cute already he’s going outside for the toilet and give paw for treats
Thats awesome!
I guess. I needed company after husband died. Cody he is so clingy. He comforts me when I am sick or sad.
Sorry for your loss.. Lhasa makes great companions :)
Aww I am glad you have an understanding friend.
I’ve owned four different Apso’s. Each had their own distinct personality, but all d them will be overly protective of their owner IF they are not obedience trained or thoroughly socialized at an early age. Once an Apso knows that you are the Alpha in the family there isn’t a command or trick they can’t do. I have never owned a dog who bit or growled....if they do it usually indicates inbreeding or just bad training. All of my dogs loved adults, children and other animals and were affectionate and funny. My only remaining Apso is a 13 year old former show dog ( got her championship by age 18 mo) who became the family pet and farm dog. She herds 35 outdoor cats that live on our farm when it’s time for them to be fed, then she comes in to eat her food.
Awesome dogs :)
That's impressive!
可愛いですね♥
I agree totally i have one at home but she's a darling
👍👍
2:45 look just like my pure white lhasa apso kimola mix breed :) She also has cute underbite haha
👍👍
Mine does as well.
Can a lhasa apso stay in a dog house with an ac I will give it ample of exercise and take very good care of it can it stay in the dog house all the time happily
100 000 views! Thanks a lot!
I have one.wonderful facts.
👍👍
♥️
❤️🐶❤️
Yeah, our lhasa is not at all afraid of big dogs or even a pack of them.
👍👍 Typical Lhasa
Good info on a nice Breed of Dog,thanks.😊😊😊
My mom's dog was a one person dog and the dog was a jerk. But he did have moments that were fun.
Would play the "Gunna get Mommy" game he's act like he's going to tear you apart but he loved it.. The "Gunna Get" game became any thing, if you pulled and shook your own pant leg he's come at you like he's going to bite growl show teeth but he was actually playing. There were times if I didn't play that game with him he would roll on my feet until I did.
He was like that from day one too, over protective of my mom.. His siblings were happy playful dogs, friends of my parents got the dogs at the same time from same person as my folks.
Would not eat dog food, refused a leash and would always attack this German Shepherd we had.
I want mine to live for 29 years too😍
That is incredible age 👍 But even the average Lhasa Apso lifespan is great and they are quite active even as seniors
I know! Mine is 11 or 12 right now and is so spry. When we go to the dog park people are shocked to learn how old he is. I'm hopeful he'll be the first one to make it to 30 because he is just the best cuddle companion of all time.
That just described my dog down to a t I knew he wasn't Shih Tzu
Awesome! 👍
i have a lasah apso
Awesome!
I have a lhasa - maltese cross. She's the cutest soul
👍👍
I have a Lhasa and every facts are true
Awesome!
I miss my Munchkin so much! No one in my area has any 😕
Sorry for your loss..
if other dog come in our home then lhasa apso will bite very badly why is that
Is it necessary to neuter our lhasa apso pets? I am very worried and not able to decide. The internet is full of contradicting statements.Kindly share your opinion.
My lasa apso is so cute
👍👍
I have an elder lhasa, and I swear she's an reincarnated Buddhist monk (and I don't even believe in reincarnation!) Zen personified, always looks like she's meditating, since she was a puppy 😂
👍👍
I have a Lhasa Apso and she is the best. Iv had two boys before her too. I couldn’t imagine having any other breed.
👍👍
Are you British or American
Neither, i am from Czech republic :)
Ok good to know you
Eu tenho um lhasa..... mas é uma pena não ser pelo menos legendado
I'm walking a Lhasa Apso puppy for an elderly couple in their 80s.
It's very sad .The couple are incapable of looking after a puppy and he needs to be rehomed .
He mainly gets shut away in the kitchen.I am paid to walk him 3 times a week,which is totally inadequate.I walk him an extra two days without payment .
He has a lot of anxiety because he has largely been left on his own ,without play or stimulation .
He is a lovely little boy,gentle and timid .He needs a good loving forever home .
I find it unconscionable that a breeder would sell a puppy to an elderly disabled couple in their advanced years .
I also find it utterly selfish of the couple to get a puppy knowing they are incapable of looking after him .They are not even capable of looking after themselves ,and need carers every day .
I feel sorry for the dog. Sadly, a lot of breeders do not care about the dog, if they get the payment, they would sell the dog to everyone.. You are great for walking the Lhasa more than you paid for.. Will the owners give away the dog soon?
Well,last week they asked me to find a new home for him ,which I did.Then they changed their mind and set a new deadline for this Wednesday to find a new home for him .Although I believe they will probably say they are keeping him .which leaves him with a bleak future .
@@kathrynbrodie9791 I'll take him❗I already have a girl😍 I've been looking for a male for her.
That's so nice of you .But I have now managed to get Charlie rehomed with Scottish Lhasa Apso rescue .where he has settled in well with a lot of other Lhasa Apsos.
@@kathrynbrodie9791 Thank you❗For making sure he's safe now!!! You're amazing✨💫✨
Dalai lama:gives lhasa apso to china's emperor as a gift
China's emperor:eats it with pleasure
I adopted a dog and paperwork says shih Tzu Lhasa mix and she's sweet she follows me every where and always wants to sleep in my bed
👍👍
My Lhasa apso... Is a lazy eater... Is playful though... He enjoys curd rice.. Ice creams..
👍👍
My female Llasa Aspo is very kind and loving but very protective towards me
👍👍 they are the best small dog guards and watchdogs!
My Llasa Aspo was given to me as a gift from my sister after my wife passed away, her previous owner passed away with the her still in the house. I’m so grateful for how my Llasa has helped me. She is so playful and she knows instinctively when I’m down. Love her to bits 😊❤️👍
And if she hears somebody knock on the door and I answer it, she will sit on the sofa barking to let them know she is there, if I invite the visitor in then she will get up to investigate who they are and what threat they may be 😂
Can lhasa apso's be agressive when we home groom them? Will they be aggressive to their owners while cutting their hair
If you will start with the grooming from the puppyhood, than they will not be agressive at all during the grooming..
@@Rocadog Thankyou for your response.I will take care of that
@@Lhasa1818 it is part of the socialization :) you should connect these things (grooming, bathing, visiting strangers and other dogs) with something positive. So especially when you start with the grooming, you must prase the puppy and give it treats during the grooming.
@@Rocadog Thankyou so much.Kindly help me with one more doubt of mine...can we leave him at home..for like 2..3 hours alone at home......once a week...
Since where i live..there are no kennels near by...
@@Lhasa1818 The best way how to learn dog to be home alone is to slowly prolong the time you left him alone. For example first day, left your dog home alone for 10 minutes, than 20 minutes... When the dog is okay with it, prolong the away time again. If it will be a little puppy and you will leave it home alone, be prepared that they can chew something or pee in the apartment. You should make sure to exercise them before you leave and walk them out before. Or you can consider a crate.
I have a lhasa apso
Great dog :)
My dogs a Lhasa apso and people say, oh is that a shih tzu, NO ITS NOT
Its hard to distinquish them from each other, most people will mistake them :)
I had a Lhasa and that is an insult. They are royalty!
Eden Gibbons Same here
I own a Lhasa Apso and whenever I go out at least one person in the whole area asks: " Oh is your dog a Shih Tzu? " But the way I can tell a Lhasa from a Shih Tzu ( with this part no offence to Shih Tzu lover's ) to me Shih Tzu's look like they ran into a brick wall..NO OFFENCE TO SHIH TZU LOVER'S!!
My dog isn’t a guard dog anymore she’s old now
Hi. Can u talk about lha cocker?
I like them, my dog Poppy is awesome and fucks up the neighbours cat. She doesn’t know how to sit yet
I always confuse them with the Shih Tzu
I have a video explaining the difference betweeh the Lhasa Apso and Shih Tzu. You can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/4jOLgBinoGo/w-d-xo.html
