Some people refer to the Lhasa Apso

is a good watchdog.

and does not appreciate being scolded by anyone. This is not a good
dog for young children. If the Lhasa Apso has
his fur pulled or is toppled on, he may snap at the child. He will
play with you, but will remain dignified during the game.
This breed does not require a great deal of exercise, and
has a beautiful long coat of fur.
