Caring for a Lhasa Apso

Health

Prone to dry eye, patellar luxation, and a familial kidney disorder documented in the breed. Regular eye checks are worthwhile given the breed's dry eye predisposition.

Nutrition

A quality small-breed diet in measured portions.

Grooming

The long, flowing double coat needs daily brushing if kept long, or can be clipped shorter for easier upkeep.

Training

Intelligent but independent — patient, consistent training works better than repetition, and this breed makes a genuinely alert watchdog.

About the breed

An ancient Tibetan breed historically kept as a sentinel dog in monasteries, alerting monks to visitors.

Confident and independent, Lhasa Apsos are alert watchdogs with genuine terrier-like spirit despite their small size.
