For a long period of time these dogs were bred exclusively in Tibet. They first arrived in the west in 1921. Intelligent, spirited, devoted and affectionate, they make good watchdogs. They are not good with rowdy children. Lhasas do not demand a lot of exercise but do like to play. They have a long, heavy, double coat draping over the entire body to the floor. Gold, cream and honey are the most popular colors. They also come in smoke, dark grizzle, slate and multi-color. Groom once a day to keep the coat from matting. These dogs weigh 13 to 15 lbs. and stand 10-11" at the shoulders. Contact the dog breeders below for your next family friend.
