It is also important to note that some Lhasa Apsos may bite children. He will require lots of exercise, and he will play with virtually any object or dog toy that he can get its paws on. Due to his small size, the Lhasa Apso makes an ideal companion for the apartment dweller, though he is better suited to an adult home or a home with older children. Its coat is long, straight, and hard and coat colors vary from sandy colored, honey-yellow, slate, smoke, black, white, brown, or particolor. It will also require considerable grooming to maintain its luxuriant coat.
All colors are equally acceptable with or without dark tips and beard.
Its head has furnishings with long hair over the eyes, whiskers and a beard. Its eyes are dark brown, large and full. Its ears are heavily suspended and feathered. The Lhasa Apso is a breed that needs human companionship, and plenty of exercise. Though unsuitable for inexperienced dog owners, the Lhasa will make a great pet when properly trained.
