I have had lhasa apsos since I was a newborn. My family seems to love them. Although we have had other breeds of dogs also, lhasa apsos are almost ALWAYS present in my house. lhasa apso ( meaning lion dog) are great guard dogs because they bark at everything. Warning: this can be irritating! We used harrmless bark collars that shoot out a spray of citranella when they bark. makes the house smell nice and doesn't harm the dog and gets them to stop barking at door bells. obviously we didn't use them as guard dogs, but they are great, loyal, loving pooches!!!!
Lhasa Apso's are Great if you have kids and are looking for a dog. They are so kid Friendly! They are small but are also a GREAT guard dog! I love my Lhasa Apso! I have two and they are the most wonderful pets!
