Default Lhasa Apso

For those who wants to know more about the Lhasa Apso
here I show you the FCI standard is almost the same as the AKC
standard:

The Lhasa Apso Breed Standard F.C.I. 227c

General Appearance: Well balanced, sturdy, heavily coated.

Characteristics: Gay and assertive.

Temperament: Alert, steady but somewhat aloof with strangers


Head & Skull: Heavy head furnishings with good fall over the eyes,
good whiskers and beard. Skull moderately narrow, falling away behind
the eyes, not quite flat, but not domed or apple headed. Straight
foreface with medium stop. Nose black. Muzzle about 4cm, but not
square; length from tip of nose roughly one third of the total
length from nose to back of skull.

Eyes: Dark. Medium size, frontally placed, oval, neither large nor
full, nor small and sunk. No white showing at base or top.

Ears Pendant, heavily feathered.

Mouth: Upper incisors close just inside lower, i.e. reverse scissor
bite. Incisors in a broad and as straight a line as possible. Full
dentition desirable.

Neck: Strong and well arched.

Forequarters: Shoulders well laid back. Forelegs straight, heavily
furnished with hair.

Body: Length from point of shoulders to point of buttocks greater than
height at withers. Well ribbed. Level topline. Strong loin. Balanced
and compact.

Hindquarters: Well developed with good muscle. Good angulation.
Heavily furnished with hair. Hocks when viewed from behind parallel
and not too close together.

Feet: Round, cat-like with firm pads. Well feathered.

Gait.movement: Free and jaunty.

Tail: High set, carried well over back but not like a pot hook. Often
with a kink at the end. Well feathered.

Coat: Top coat long, heavy, straight, hard neither woolly nor silky.
Moderate undercoat.

Color: Golden sandy, honey, dark grizzle, slate, smoke, black,
parti-color, white or brown. All equally acceptable.

Size:Ideal height: 25.4 cm at shoulder for dogs; bitches slightly
smaller.

Faults: Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a
fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded
should be in exact proportion to its degree.

Note: Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully
descended into the scrotum.
