  Lhasa Apso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Having been bred to be sentinel or watch dogs, Lhasa Apsos tend to be alert and have a keen sense of hearing with a rich, sonorous bark that belies their size (some are known as "singers").
Lhasa Apsos have adopted an incentive to be wary of strangers from their owners, who, due to the geographical location of Tibet, were also cautious of outsiders.
Lhasas were rarely groomed by their owners thus allowing the breed to adapt to the harsh weather.

 Lhasa Apsos: What's Good About 'Em? What's Bad About 'Em?
The AKC Standard, showing great restraint, calls the Lhasa Apso "chary with strangers." Indeed he is.
