About the Schapso
The Schapso is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Lhasa Apso and the Miniature Schnauzer. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Schapso is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.
