Lhasa-Poo Puppies for Sale

Lhasa-Poo
(Lhasapoo)

Lhasa Apso / Poodle Hybrid

The Lhasa-Poo is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Lhasa Apso and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. This hybrid cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Reggie, the Lhasa-Poo at 10 months old. "When he was a puppy, he had to be held ALL the time. He still likes to be held even though he weighs almost 20 pounds. He is great with kids, and is very protective of me. When my husband and I raise our voices for any reason, he shows his displeasure by barking and standing up on his hind legs. He seems to know when I am sick. I suffer from migraines and he will lay on the floor by the couch very quietly and every so often "check on me" by licking my forehead very softly or touching his nose to my face. He is "sneaky"- will look around to make sure my husband is not looking before he gets an ornament off the tree, will tip-toe onto our bed in the morning hoping my husband won't hear him and say "get down!" He just makes us smile all the time."

Awit before grooming

"Awit, my hybrid dog at about 1 year old who is a cross of a Lhasa Apso and a Poodle. Definitely she is not a first generation hybrid, because her dog-dad and dog-mom are already both Lhasa-Poos. I have no idea about her grandparents, so I can't really say what generation she is of a Lhasa Poo hybrid."

"Awit looks more of a Poodle, her body hair being a little on the curly side, and her body structure and height too are closer to the Poodle than to the Lhasa Apso. But she has streaks of straight hair too, like on her tail and on her head, that's why we can't give her a proper "poodle-look" crown or afro on top of her head. We do shave her face though, as in poodle cuts and we maintain her body hair on "summer cut", most of the time using grooming blade # 7, because her hair grows very fast. Her soft, cottony undercoat is also very prone to matting. Awit is a non-shedder but she has very sensitive skin."

"The name Awit is a filipino word that literally means "to sing" (verb) or "song" (noun). Alternately, the word "awit" is also being used to translate the word "Psalm" in the Bible."

"Awit is a very active dog. She loves walk time and play time. Play time means she runs and dares our other dogs to chase her around the house. She can also jump (note: her agility makes her look like she can actually fly) from the floor to the sofa, to the bed, from one bed to another, and back to the floor with ease."

"Awit is also very friendly to other people and other dogs and gentle to children-- indeed a very well socialized dog, making her very qualified to be the Official K9 Receptionist of Dogbero, our dog grooming salon in the Philippines. Yes, and she gets one 2" chew bone per day or a doggie biscuit that she can munch to her heart's delight."

"Awit is also a fast learner and a very intelligent dog. I tried to do clicker training on her, and she easily picked up the cues "sit" and "down". "

Princess Leia, the Lhasapoo. She's a Lhasa Apso/Poodle mix. She's just about full-grown in these photos weighing in at about 7 pounds (3.2 kg.). Her owner states, "Her temperament is very sweet and she's super smart--she could sit, speak, and shake hands after I'd had her for only 2 weeks. She's also very athletic and a terrific jumper. Often she makes tremendous leaps around the living room from the furniture. It's kind of her game to not touch the floor."

Pandora, the Lhasapoo puppy at 8 weeks old (Lhasa Apso / Poodle Hybrid) "Pandora is very loving. She did pretty well with crate training last night, though she cried for a few minutes before falling asleep. She slept with our dachshund, Precious and I think that helped. She already went potty outside by herself, but she also had an accident in the house. She is very smart and seems to learn quickly. Also her fur is so incredibly soft. Pictures just don’t do it justice. Overall she is so far a wonderful dog and addition to our family."

Angel, the 9 week old Lhasa-Poo. "Her mother is Lhasa Apso and her father is a Miniature Poodle. She looks more like her mother, the Lhasa Aspo. Her owner states, "She is very smart, playful and house trained. She's just like a baby and loves the attention we give her."
