Lhasa's are a wonderful companion. Like most of the asiatic breeds (Chow, Pekingnese, Shitzu...) they do tend to be a little aloof, not prone to silly behaviours and are very loyal companions. Quite serious little chaps, but really lovely. I would like one someday, but I have this habit of ending up with other people's nightmare dogs....you know the ugly little thing at the shelter with 101 problems.....
