Breed Information

Overview

The Lhasa-Poo is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between a Lhasa Apso and Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and understand that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed. This designer breed is recognized by ACHC (American Canine Hybrid Club).

The Lhasa-Poo is a designer dog breed that is a cross between a Lhasa Apso and a Toy or Miniature Poodle. Although a mixed breed can take on any combination of traits from the parent breeds, Lhasa-Poo tend to be friendly, affectionate, and playful dogs that are loyal to their families.

Because they are not a purebred dog, the Lhasa-Poo is not recognized by the American Kennel Club. However, they are recognized by other notable dog organizations like the Designer Dogs Kennel Club, American Canine Hybrid Club, and more.

Temperament

This designer dog breed is a small dog with a big heart. They tend to be social and bond closely with their families. They tend to have a sweet, friendly disposition and a playful, energetic personality. They tend to get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets. Because their small size makes them susceptible to injury during accidental rough play or falls common to younger children, they are a better fit for older children who know how to interact appropriately with a dog and can handle them gently. As with any dog breed, socialization and training early on are important and the same is true for the Lhasa-Poo. Without proper socialization and training, they can develop “small dog syndrome” that may make them combative or aggressive towards other dogs and strangers. They do make alert watchdogs, but they tend to be friendly dogs, so they do not tend to make good guard dogs. They can be prone to barking, but training early on can help curb this behavior.
