When raised right – with love and praise – a Lhasa Apso is incredibly loyal to its master. Because of the stubborn characteristic that exists in all Lhasas, giving up dominance to his or her owner requires a lot of trusts. With that trust comes a loyalty like no other and a Lhasa that will guard its people from dangers.
While a standard Lhasa Apso is expected to live 12-14 years, there are many that live well beyond this estimation. The longest living Lhasa died at the age of 29 years in 1939. It is unknown as to the exact causes of the dog’s death. 1939 was the beginning of WW2, a known struggle for the breed’s survival. Other Lhasas have been known to survive into their 20s as well.
There is a long list of celebrity personalities that own Lhasa Apso dogs. From Gwen Stefani to Elizabeth Taylor, Kurt Vonnegut to Jane Lynch, and Ellen Degeneres to Queen Sofia of Spain, the love of Lhasa Apso is widespread. These famous Lhasa Apso owners are in addition to the Dalai Lamas that keep them regularly.
