Lhasa Apso Puppies for Sale COCONUT CREEK FL


Lhasa Apso Puppies for Sale Parkland FL

The Lhasa Apso is a small, hardy little dog. The body length is longer than the height of the dog. The small, dark, deep-set eyes are dark brown and the pendant ears are heavily feathered. The front legs are straight. The back legs are heavily covered in hair. The face is medium in length. The teeth should meet in a level or slightly undershot bite. The feet are round, catlike with an abundance of hair. The tail is set high, well feathered and carried over the back in a screw. Some tails have a kink at the end. The dense, double coat is straight and long over the entire body, including over the head and eyes, reaching to the floor. Any color is acceptable in the show ring. Gold, cream, and honey are the most popular, but the coat also comes in dark-grizzle, slate, smoke, and multi-colors of brown, white and black. Puppy coats often change colors as the puppy grows. Owners often cut the dogs hair short.

Height:

Dogs 10-11 inches a little less for Bitches

Weight:

Dogs 13-15 pounds

Living Conditions:

These dogs are good for apartment living. They are very active indoors and will do okay without a yard.

Exercise:

Lhasa Apso need a daily walk.  Play will take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, play will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs who do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe open area off lead, such as a large fenced in yard.

Grooming:

The long coat parts at the spine and falls straight on either side. No trimming or stripping is needed, although when in full coat, they need to be brushed about once a day to keep their coats from matting. Some owners opt to cut the coats short for easier grooming. Dry shampoo as necessary. Check the feet for matting and for foreign matter stuck there. Clean the eyes and ears meticulously, for they tend to tear. Some owners prefer to get their coats clipped to cut down on grooming. This breed sheds very little.

Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale Parkland FL


Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale at Puppy Plus

Teddy Bear dogs are not purebreds, but rather, a hybrid dog selectively bred to resemble a child’s stuffed teddy bear. Normally a cross between a Shih Tzuand a Toy Poodle (a Shih Poo), a Bichon Frise and a Toy Poodle (a Poochon), a Bichon Frise and a Shih Tzu (a Zuchon), or a mix of all three, Teddy Bear Dogs are normally small and fluffy with brown or black coats. Teddy Bear dogs are considered “designer” crosses and are bred solely for appearance, rather than temperament, health or functionality. This type of dog is perfect for apartment life, but does require daily exercise in the form of a walk or a romp in the park. As adults, Teddy Bears tend to have large bursts of energy for short amounts of time, so do not over exercise. Fortunately, they are usually small enough to carry if they become tired during a walk.
The practice of breeding a Teddy Bear or a designer dog is a controversial topic for some animal rights groups. With a recent surge in popularity in hybrid dogs (especially among Hollywood celebrities), there have been charges that some breeders are reproducing irresponsibly by disregarding overpopulation and the health of the puppies or parents. Others have questioned the often excessive price breeders charge for Teddy Bears (normally $950-$1750 for a “professionally bred” Teddy Bear).
Teddy Bear Dogs
Teddy Bear Dogs vary in size but are normally quite small, weighing no more than 7-9 pounds. Because they are hybrids, it is difficult to determine what health/temperament issues may arise. If the dog comes from purebred parents, they will be susceptible to health problems from both breeds. If the dog is more than a mix of two purebreds, it becomes more difficult to pinpoint potential health issues. There are, however, ailments that are common to smaller dogs, for example eye and ear problems, sensitivity to the cold, and bloat if overfed. Teddy Bear dogs tend to be quite yappy and difficult to housetrain, but this can be alleviated through proper training. Beware when you buy the Teddy Bear for sale or Teddy Bear puppies for sale as they can become startled easily and may nip children, so they should be monitored when in the presence of others.
Because these dogs are often purchased for appearance sake, they tend to be spoiled, which can lead to overfeeding and a lack of discipline. The former can pose a serious health risk to the dog weight gain can result in a shortened lifespan.
Teddy Bear Dog Puppies

Teddy Bear dogs are normally bred from purebreds with hyperactive tendencies, so puppies tend to have abundant energy levels. Some owners of Teddy Bear puppies say their dogs are resistant to crate training, and do not like to be left alone. Puppies need a lot of love and attention and require a lot of discipline. Some Teddy Bear dogs will howl when left alone. This will pass overtime, providing the owner does not give in to the puppy. If the owner retrieves the puppy when she cries, it will believe that howling is permitted in the home. It may be difficult to resist that adorable little face but be strong. Your puppy will thank you in the end!
