Lhasa Apsos are heavy shedders, but regular brushing can help manage shedding and promote a healthy coat.

Huskitas shed a lot of hair each year, so frequent brushing is essential for reducing shedding and maintaining coat health.

Lhasa Apsos are decent watchdogs - they'll alert their owner if something seems amiss.
