Lhatese
Lhasa Apso / Maltese
Hybrid
The Lhatese is not a
purebred dog. It is a cross between the
Lhasa Apso and the Maltese. 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.
"Mia is a Maltese/Lhasa Apso mix; her
dad was a Maltese, and her mom was a Lhasa . She is about 5 years old in this
picture (though she still looks like a puppy!) with a weight of almost 10
pounds. We have only had her for about 2 ½ years but cannot imagine being
without her. As we've learned more about the specific traits of her two breeds,
we have discovered that her personality reflects them both pretty equally. Some
of her Lhasa traits include devotion to her human family, affection towards
people she knows (and leeriness of strangers), alertness as a watchdog and
protectiveness of places she considers "home", and some apprehension of small
children and other dogs. Her gentle nature, well-mannered behavior, and
propensity for cuddling are examples of her more Maltese-like characteristics.
Mia is an extremely loving and sweet dog, but she lacks the playful attitude of
many dogs of a similar breed (although she is known to have extreme outbursts of
energy, where she will run around the yard for several minutes at a time!). She
enjoys nice walks around the neighborhood but is perfectly content to stay at
home. Overall, she is an absolutely wonderful dog and companion, and we feel so
lucky to have her!"

Squish, the female Lhatese (Lhasa Apso
/ Maltese hybrid) at 7 years old. "Brings great delight to her Perth, Western Australian owners. A beautiful breed
that has a happy disposition (most of the time). Loves to guard food, can be
obsessive but also intelligent."
