Known as the "jelly bean" dog because they come in such a wide array of colors, the Lhasa Apso is a small, long-coated breed from Tibet. Generally 9 to 10.75" inches at the shoulder and weighing 12-16 pounds, they are a sturdy little mountain dog. Originally bred by monks and nobility, they make Excellent sentinel dogs. Not a yappy breed, they will bark a warning/alert and then settle down.
