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.

Character
The Schapso is loving and very loyal to it's family. They are and friendly with new people. When raised with children they are good with them. The Schapso's temperament varies from extreme playfulness to pushy. They are very high energy and make a fantastic running companion. They do not bark as much as a Mini Schnauzer or a Lhasa Apso, but will alert you if they hear something unusual outside. It also has a stubborn streak that can be won over with gentle consistent training.

Daily brushing is needed if the coat is kept uncut. It's best to clean the eyes and ears regularly. Trimming is needed in and under the ears to prevent infection.
