The Lhasa Apso maintains its role as the guard of the palace - your palace. A very friendly dog, usually suspicious of strangers, is devoted to its master. Its size makes it a good pet for apartments. It tolerates children as long as they "play nice". A great companion for the elderly or less active because of its size and minimal demand for exercise. They do, however, need to be brushed frequently.
