Prapso - Lhasa Apso
Hi
Here are my two Lhasa Apso/Prapso brothers - Teddy and Bertie. I would endorse what I've read so far about Prapsos being quicker to develop.
We've had Lhasa Apsos before but Ted and Bert were notably speedier at picking things up, investigating (ie - being more nosey!!) and generally responding to commands/requests.
They are 5 years old now and are the most delightful young men! Sue x

Hi Janice here from Miracle Shih Tzu
--------------------------------------------
Thank you so much for sharing Teddy and Bertie's stories. You have just confirmed what so many people have said about Prapso Puppies and their sharper intelligence.
What they may lack in a little extra hair, they make up for in their inquisitive, clever nature that makes them easier to train than their "normal" cousins. Thanks again for sharing.
I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in biology, Early Childhood Education, and Nursing, and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling.
I'm a lifelong learner, a dog lover, and passionate about the welfare of animals. Though Shih Tzu is my favorite breed, I've also lived with Poodles, Maltese, Yorkshire Terriers, Beagles, English Bulldogs, Carin Terriers, and a Cocker Spaniel. Little critters that shared my space included guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, mice, tropical fish, and birds. (Oh, and one crayfish and hermit crab that my daughter brought home from school)
When not writing, reading, and researching dog-related topics, I love spending time with my 6 Shih Tzu dogs, husband, and family, as well as knitting and crocheting. She is also the voice behind Small Dog Place and Smart-Knit-Crocheting. Please visit my other two sites or send me a note.
