We have a Lhasa Apso. He is very calm but does get playful about once a day for 20 minutes or so. He likes to be with people and sit on the foot rest of the recliners. One downfall with him is he always has ear infections. It's to the point we bought ear drops for him and use them about 2 times a week. This has greatly reduced the number of infections he gets. He is not a fan of small children not aggressive with them just hides from them. Seems to be a very smart breed, say treat, ride, bed he knows them all.
