We decided to name our Lhasa "Moose" for irony's sake because when we got him, he was a 5 pound furball. It seems like we jinxed ourselves... Moose reached his adult weight at 21.5 pounds.
For those interested in getting a Lhasa Apso, this is not typical. A "normal" Lhasa weighs in around 13 pounds for a female, and 16 pounds for a male. Moose is clearly the giant of his litter as his weight is not at all typical. During the first vet visit, we were told that he had had a more muscular build that is normal for a Lhasa. The vet assured us that he was indeed a purebred and might simply be a little bigger than normal. We had no idea what we had gotten ourselves into!
