History: The Lhasa Poo is a type of designer dog that is a cross between the Lhasa Apso and the Poodle, typically a Miniature Poodle. There’s not much information on the origin of designer dog breeds, but the intentional crossing of two purebred dogs likely started sometime during the 1990s in North America. These little dogs are known to be lively, intelligent, and fiercely loyal to their owners. All in all, Lhasa Poos make great companions for many different types of people and can thrive in a variety of different households.

Temperament: Lhasa Poos are smart, affectionate dogs that love nothing more than to please their owners. They are loving by nature and always on the lookout for affection and attention from their family members. Most Lhasa Poos do well with other dogs, pets, and children, as long as they’ve been properly socialized during puppyhood. Despite their size, these dogs make great watch dogs because they are quite protective and won’t hesitate to alert you if a stranger is around. Additionally, the Lhasa Poo is a moderately active dog that can easily adapt to their owners’ lifestyle, making them a good choice for apartment dwellers.
