About the Lhasa Apso breed.
Lhasa Apso Puppies in Kentucky
At Rocky Top Puppies in Liberty, Kentucky, we raise Lhasa Apso puppies from champion bloodlines on both sides. Small, confident and full of personality, the Lhasa Apso is a devoted companion with a striking coat.
What Is a Lhasa Apso?
The Lhasa Apso comes from Tibet, where it served as an alert dog in palaces and Buddhist monasteries high in the Himalayas. The name comes from the city of Lhasa, and the breed earned the nickname "bark lion sentinel dog" for its watchful nature and lion-like mane. Today's Lhasa is a smart, amusing and sometimes willful companion who still takes its watchdog duties seriously.
How Big Do Lhasa Apsos Get?
- Height: about 10–11 inches
- Weight: about 12–18 pounds
- Life expectancy: about 12–15 years, often longer with good care
Coat, Colors and Grooming
The Lhasa's long, straight, dense coat parts down the back and comes in gold, cream, honey, black, white, red, and less commonly blue, gray or silver. A full coat needs daily brushing to stay free of mats; many owners keep a shorter "puppy cut" for easier care. Keep up with ear cleaning, nail trims and dental care.
Temperament
Lhasa Apsos are lively, affectionate and loyal to their families, with an independent streak that comes from centuries as watchdogs. They are alert without being yappy, and they tend to be reserved with strangers until properly introduced, so early socialization matters.
Training and Activity
Lhasas are clever and eager to please when training stays positive and interesting; they do not respond well to harsh correction. They are versatile little dogs that compete in American Kennel Club events such as obedience, rally, agility, scent work and trick dog. Daily walks and indoor play are usually plenty of exercise.
