10. Lhasa Apso – The Stubborn Royalty

Lhasa Apsos were originally bred to guard Tibetan monasteries, making them watchful, independent, and sometimes aloof. While they can be loyal, they are not naturally affectionate lap dogs and often prefer to be alone rather than constantly interacting with people.
Why they don’t bond well: They were bred for alertness, not affection.
Best for: Owners who respect a dog’s space and independence.
