02 Lhasa Apsos Personality
The Lhasa Apso exhibits a regal attitude when looking his best; seldom
a pet, but rather a companion; often a clown, but never a fool. The
Lhasa Apso temperament is unique. [INLINE] His rather independent and
stubborn nature requires patient understanding, and he resists harsh
and strict discipline. He is rather calm and deliberate, although
chary(suspicious) of strangers, a direct reflection of his
long-standing heritage of seclusion in Tibet.
The Lhasa Apso is a big dog personality in a small package. They view
themselves as big and important. It is said "when a Lhasa looks in the
mirror he sees a lion." Maybe this is where they get the name "Little
Lion Dog." They adapt easily to their environment and your schedule.
We do not recommend the Lhasa for families with children under age 3.
This is because of the small size of a Lhasa puppy, who can be easily
hurt by a child possibly falling on them.
