Today I want to talk about a foreign dog that I haven’t heard about yet. This breed is called the Lhasa Apso. They are originally from Tibet. They are highly regarded watch dogs in the palaces and monasteries of their homeland. They have extremely long hair so grooming is an essential. They are very family orientated and are there to protect. They are super independent and loyal which makes them perfect dogs.

They do great in apartments. They are small enough for them and are quiet so it doesn't affect the neighbors. They're fairly healthy dogs too even though, of course they are prone to some issues too. They are prone to allergies such as food allergies, contact, bed fleas and other things. They enjoy playing outside so it's important to check for outdoor fleas since they have a lot of hair. They like to walk as long as their not too long.

Overall, this dog is really fun and has a cool name. One important thing to note about these dogs is that they aren't very tolerable with children. They'll tend to nip at them. They are best with families of older children rather than small toddlers.

    I haven't heard about this breed before either! They are very cute, but they don't seem like a breed I would consider getting. Maybe if they were healthier and friendly. Their hair also looks like a lot of work to maintain.
