Lhasapoo puppies for sale in Caddo Parish

The Lhasapoo, also known as Lhasoodle or Lhasadoodle, is a charming designer dog breed that originated in the 1990s and 2000s from a cross between the ancient Tibetan Lhasa Apso and the European Poodle. This breed was created to combine the low-shedding qualities of Poodles with the hardy and alert nature of Lhasa Apsos. Physically, Lhasapoos typically stand between 9 to 15 inches tall and weigh around 10 to 20 pounds. They have a wavy or curly coat that can come in various colors such as white, black, cream, or brown, making them a popular choice for allergy sufferers due to their hypoallergenic coat, though this is not guaranteed. Temperament-wise, Lhasapoos are affectionate, intelligent, and playful but can exhibit stubbornness inherited from the Lhasa Apso, requiring patient training and early socialization. They make excellent companions for apartment dwellers, families with older children, and seniors, but they are prone to separation anxiety and need moderate exercise of about 30 to 60 minutes per day. Grooming is a crucial care aspect, involving daily brushing and regular professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain their coat’s health and prevent matting.
