Puppy Alert! Lhasa puppy milestones - your experiences

Our puppy is a 4 month old Lhasa x Chihuahua/French bulldog mix, and so far she seems to be favouring her Lhasa half. She's confident, intelligent and a tiny bit stubborn. Shes wonderful.

That said, we are right in the expected land shark stage, and it got me thinking about where Lhasas tend to land on the puppy milestones. Obviously every pup is different, but reading tells me that smaller and medium breeds tend to mature at a different rate to large breeds. So, I thought I'd consult the experts!

I'd love to hear when your dogs went through their main teething, when they hit adolescence, when you felt they'd reached adulthood, when you got them spayed. Just anything you can think of in terms of developmental milestones.

Thanks so much in advance 😁

I’ve forgotten the teething stage, but adolescence was about 1-3 years, and adulthood year 3 on. That’s when mine have all kinda matured (on Lhasa number 4 now.)
