The Lhatese is a result of cross breeding between a purebred Lhasa Apso and a purebred Maltese. They are called hybrid dogs due to their origination from two different pure breeds.
The Lhatese dogs are small in size with a maximum height of 11 inches and weight around 18 pounds or less. They are very cute little dogs that are very kind and cuddly. They are alert and attentive and wary of strangers; making good watch dogs. These dogs are very active and need daily outing in the form of walk to be happy. They are intelligent dogs and loving dogs and get along well with all ages.
