Lhasa Apsa Overview

I picked up a 2 year old Lhasa from the shelter a few months ago for my mother. My mother named her Lucy and she is just the most adorable dog ever.

She stands up on her hind legs and begs when it's time to walk or when I am about to give her a treat. She was already potty trained. She loves people. When we bring her to the dog park, instead of going crazy with the other dogs, she goes up and says hi to all the owners. Sometimes she would just sit there next to them waiting for them to pet her.

She loves belly rubs, and I was able to train her to come, sit and lay down. She only chews on her toys and doesn't bark at all unless she is around big dogs. I think she has a Napoleon complex.

She is very picky with her food though. Also she is not very fond of big dogs. She barks intensely when they are around.

i have a lhasa named brandy who is a happy and exicted little dog. i sagest a lhasa for a family with older children and there somewhat hard to train. brandy like many other lhasa apsos will bark at lots of other random things like birds,clouds,falling leaves,ect. overall lhsases are good dogs! p.s. some love cats!
