Lhasa Apso puppy-dog?

Question

Anyone who has a Lhasa can you please tell me how your lhasa is?.

Mine is super nice around people and gets a long with all kinds of dogs but then she is super protective, mean, acts like she is the boss, and will bark and bark until she gets what she wants!

Answer 1

She's an alpha dog.  It sounds like you are describing my parents' lhasa, Truffles.  She is super dominant around other dogs, but in a playful way.  She is a total love bug and is extremely social.

Our lhasa, Taffie who will be 17 in 2 days is very laid back and is very social.  Of course, she can't really hear anymore so sometimes she doesn't even know when someone comes over, but she was always a sweetie and excited to see 'company'. She still rolls to her back to get a tummy rub from everyone she meets.

Answer 2

My Lhasa Apso is very active, playful, nice and quite when around the family and strangers. A very mellow dog.  

Answer 3

Temperament

The Lhasa Apso is gentle, happy, outgoing and devoted little dog. It has a bold temperament and is playful and affectionate which makes for a lively and friendly companion for other pets, children or elderly folk. Lhasa's are very people oriented and does not like to be left alone for long periods of time. A favorite pastime of the Lhasa Apso would be quietly napping next to its owner. Though it is a very regal looking species, its character is tough and ever so hardy.

Although the Lhasa Apso is courageous and adaptable, it does not like rough handling or loud harsh words. Lhasa Apso's are timid yet can be assertive and strong willed with minds of their own. They are very intelligent, quite sensitive and do not respond well to raised voices which can cause them to be depressed. Their intelligence scores them many points during training as they seem to live to please their owners. Having been bred to be watch dogs, Lhasa Apso's tend to be alert and have a keen sense of hearing with a rich, sonorous bark that is deceptive of their size. They must not be overly spoiled as they may develop behavioral problems.

The Lhasa is in a class of it's own when it comes to showing devotion towards a loving, gentle and firm but kind owner. Although they can be obstinate, they are forever loyal. The Lhasa is calm in nature and makes a wonderful lap dog for all ages and allows it ample enjoyment during traveling. In its moods of playfulness, they can be quite entertaining an very enjoyable.
