Curiosities about the Lhasa Apso breed
Origin
Considered one of the oldest dogs in the world, the Lhasa Apso originated in Tibet, where for many years it was the companion of Buddhist monks. The sacred beliefs surrounding the breed were given at the time by the noble size and intelligence of this small giant.
Behavior
Today, the dog is no longer seen as a professional guardian, but rather considered a true member of the family. The breed's temperament has not been lost over time and, therefore, is always alert to everything around it.
Health
In general, this is a very healthy breed and does not present any major health complications. A little more frequently, it is possible to observe some allergies, mainly skin allergies, which can be difficult to identify due to the hair being too long. Therefore, careful feeding, regular baths with special shampoo and monthly flea and tick control help prevent problems like these. The Lhasa Apso can also be affected by some genetic diseases. The most common are: progressive retinal atrophy, which if not diagnosed early can lead to blindness, and congenital cystic renal dysplasia where the kidneys have a smaller than expected and irregular shape. Therefore, the animal must be monitored by a veterinarian since it is a puppy to ensure the normal functioning of its entire body. Genetic research and research on the chosen kennel can help - a lot - in preventing hereditary problems.
Temperament
Despite having the appearance of a fragile dog that only likes to be held, the Lhasa has a lot of energy and loves to play, but it is still a breed that adapts very well to small apartments (as long as it takes a few walks during the day). He is very suspicious of strangers and will bark to alert his owner when someone unknown approaches. However, he is usually faithful, which makes the Lhasa Apso a companion.
