Etymology [ edit ]
A Lhasa Apso head A young Lhasa Apso, not yet fully coated A young Lhasa Apso A Lhasa Apso with a long, dense coat
Lhasa is the capital city of Tibet, and apso is a word from the Tibetan language. There is some debate over the exact origin of the name; some claim that the word "apso" is an anglicized form of the Tibetan word for goatee ("ag-tshom", ཨག་ཚོམ་) or perhaps "ra-pho" (ར་ཕོ་) meaning "billy goat".[4] [5] [6] [unreliable source
History [ edit ]
The Lhasa Apso is a thousand-year-old breed that historically served as sentinels at palaces and monasteries isolated high in the Himalayas of Tibet .[7] Tibetan Terrier ; they were collectively known as "Lhasa Terriers".[8] : 294
The first American pair of Lhasas were a gift from Thubten Gyatso, 13th Dalai Lama to C. Suydam Cutting , arriving in the United States in 1933. Mr. Cutting had traveled to Tibet and met the Dalai Lama.[9] [10] American Kennel Club officially accepted the breed in 1935 in the Terrier Group , and in 1959 transferred the breed to the Non-Sporting Group .[11] Utility Group .
The breed was definitively accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1960.[2]
Characteristics [ edit ]
Dogs stand about 25 cm (9.8 in ) at the withers , bitches slightly less.[1] [1] [1]
It ranks 68th (out of 138) in Stanley Coren 's The Intelligence of Dogs [12] [13]

A 2024 UK study found a life expectancy of 14 years for the breed compared to an average of 12.7 for purebreeds and 12 for crossbreeds .[14]
