Hi,

I just lost my Lhasa Apso, who many thought was a Tibetan Terrier,
because she was big for a Lhasa. My groomer told me she did not think
my dog was a Lhaso Apso.

She had a marvellous disposition, intelligent, energetic etc. and
almost a human in a dog's body.

I want another dog with the same attributes.

You can see my tribute to her "My loving Lhasa Apso and Diabetes"
under rec.pets.dogs.health, if you are interested.

I would like to know from Tibetan terrier owners *about the
personality and health problems affiliated with this breed.

Kindly advise.

I have a 17 year old TT and she has been such fun although she had eye
and hip problems she has a can-do personality and has always recovered
well. I would not like to speak for the breed as I only have
experience of my girl who I love to bits. S probably wont be with us
much longer just because she is such an old lady. I had wondered about
a lhaso as they are smaller in future but we will see.
Sorry no help but I am sure you will love whatever you decide to get.
