Lhasa Apso

This breed falls into the category of the lap dogs too. They are very playful and brave hearted. The dog adapts well to the apartment living and small spaces. Formerly used by royals, the breed still continues to fulfill its duty as a watchdog. They have the lifespan of 14  years and weighs between 13 to 15 pounds. What makes them ideal for the senior citizens? It is their independent nature. In fact, Lhasa does not develop separation anxiety if left alone but the separation should not be for a prolonged time. Other than that, they do not need much exercise and are content living indoors. Lhasa does not need much grooming. The dog should be taken for a walk a day.
