6 days ago I rescued a little girl who was listed as a Lhasa Apso mix but I suspect she is a purebred. Not that it matters to me though. But in the time that I have had her I have not heard bark at all. The only thing I have heard out of her is a sneeze. I have found that if I get the dry food from Petsmart that is made from real chicken (I thick WalMart sells some too) I mix it with a spoonful of wet food. I mix it good cause then she makes sure to eat the dry stuff too.

I have a 3 year old lhasa apso. He is very sweet and loving when it's just him and i. However, when you bring another person or another small dog into the picture, he becomes very violent and/or obsessive. He will lick, growl, bite, and bark at any strange dog or person. Is this poor training or is this just the usual personality of a lhasa apso? Is there anything i can do to make him more friendly? Please help. -
