The Lhasa Apso is a small, intelligent, and loyal breed. Bred as monastery watchdogs, they’re alert and often bark to signal anything unusual. Known for their long, straight, floor-length coat parted down the middle, they need regular grooming. Many owners prefer a shorter “puppy cut” for easier care, though even that requires routine maintenance.
