My mum had a Lhaso cross for 16 years. She got him as a pup and he was never absued. But he did have issues. In most my observations I am comparing him to my old Border Collie cross that was the same age as him and they grew up together. My dog Cassie was abused for the first 5 months of her life.
Tucker never came if called unless he thought there was something in it for him, except with me, he knew I was the boss over him. Cassie came to her name or a whistle
Tucker growled at strangers, except small children. My kids were 1 and 3 when my mum got him. Cassie ignored strangers, unless they put there hand out to her, then she would bite. All strangers were told prior to meeting her to never put their hand out to her to smell. On her terms she would warm up to them and eventually allow petting. She would not let anyone who had just smoked touch her.
Tucker also growled at people he had met repeatedly over the years. He basically like my mum, her man, my ex, me and my kids. My abused dog after meeting someone once was okay with them.
If mum had house guests, Tucker would poop on the bed if he could get into the room.
Tucker was a barker. Cassie did not bark, except if strangers were approaching the house. If someone she knew was approaching she would get all excited and whine, but not bark.
My current dog Oscar, is a Pug cross and if any breed barks it is pugs. Oscar does not bark much either. He does make excited noises when anyone approaches the house (no guard dog there), if we are out for a walk and he sees another dog etc.
All the dogs, Tucker, Cassie and Oscar have been good with cats. I have had 2-3 cats the entire time we have had dogs. Tucker used to spend quite a bit of time at my house, so he had to mind the cats.
My exbil's lady friend has a small fluffy ankle biter, Ruby. Ruby thought cats were there to torment, until she met my old lady cat who put her in her place.
