Lhasa Apso Resources

The Lhasa Apso is a small dog breed from Tibet, where it was bred to be a watchdog for the Buddhist temples. The Lhasa Apso is still an important dog in Tibet and Dalai Lama is known to provide visiting dignitaries with Lhasa Apso dogs. To protect itself from the cold Tibetan weather, the Lhasa Apso is equipped with a thick and warm coat. If you live in a warm part of the world, you might want to trim the coat of your Lhasa Apso to make is more suitable for the mild conditions. The first Lhasa Apso to arrive in Europe was brought by Mrs. A. McLaren Morrison in 1901. The first United States pair was a gift from the 13th Dalai Lama to C. Suydam Cutting in the early 1930s.
