Each dog is an individual. The reason Lhasas tend to bark is because they were bred to be watchdogs and the barking was encouraged. But the Lhasas I know are quiet dogs as well, something I like about them.

Well, well, I think my Lhasa Apso is a little different, she NEVER barks, it’s seems like there were no dog at all. Not hyper and very independent. Likes to hang around me (on my feet or very close to them), but can also be by her self with no problem. I love her so much and I’m happy to have chosen this breed.

All of the Lhasa Apsos I have known have been very calm, friendly dogs. I also like that they do not bark a lot and don’t seem to have hyper, crazy energy. They are great little dogs!

I have a 2yr old Lhasa Apso, her name is Bacardi and she is amazing! She is great with with kids even the little ones that wanna pull her hair all the time. She, was kind of difficult to potty train. However, once they get it down pat they dont have a problem. Bacardi is very smart she knows when she has done something bad because she goes to her time out spot (yes people i put my dog on timeout! lol) and she stays there with no attention till I tell her she can get up. And these dogs like attention so it works for her. I would never trade her for any other dog shes a perfect fluffy little thing

Great article. As an owner of two Lhasa-apso’s I have to agree with everything you said. Good and bad. They are also known amoung owners as my little shadow. Due to the Lhasa-apso following you everywhere you go. Even if she’s sleeping in the middle of the night and you try to tiptoe out the room to go to the bathroom, she immediately will know and follows you. They tend to stand guard not only of your home, but of you as well. Wich is why I think they don’t like strangers very well. One problem I do have with her is the stanger agressiveness. Once she gets to know someone she is a very good girl though. Anyway, just thought I give you my two cents worth lol. Feel free to take a look at my Lhasa’s on cabanababies.com.

I have a 4 year old female Lhaso Apso. Her name is Chloe, and she is the love of my life. I try very hard to do what’s best for her. She doesn’t eat commercial dog food due to the poisons in them. Check out my blog page all about Chloe http://www.ndznoemi.blogspot.com

Thanks for the info! I’m learning a lot about dog breeds in this blog.
My neighbor has one of those (top picture) so now I understand why she barks a lot–it’s in her nature!

This is a very cute breed – a lot of folks out here have them. I’ve known several that have quite the personality.
