History: They are the most popular of the breeds indigenous to Tibet. The Tibetan Terrier, Tibetan Spaniel and Lhasa Apso all share common ancestors. Sometimes they are known as the Tibetan Apso. The name "apso" means goat-like and they may have been named that as their coat resembles that of the goats kept by Tibetan herders. In Tibet, the Lhasa Apso was a treasured dog of the privilege classes. They are truly aristocrats, having been bred in a domestic environment for generations.
