Lhasa Apso Growth Stages

Understanding the typical growth stages helps you know what to expect as your Lhasa Apso puppy grows.

Neonatal

0–2 weeks

Puppies are born with eyes and ears closed, relying entirely on their mother. Rapid weight gain occurs during this period.

Socialization

3–12 weeks

Eyes and ears open. Puppies begin to explore, play, and learn social behaviors. This is a critical period for development.

Juvenile

3–6 months

Rapid growth continues. Puppies become more independent, start teething, and develop coordination.

Adolescent

6–9 months

Growth rate begins to slow. Puppies reach sexual maturity and may test boundaries. Muscle mass develops.

Young Adult

9–12 months

Growth is nearly complete. Your puppy is filling out and approaching adult proportions.

Adult

12+ months

Your puppy has reached their full adult size. Weight should remain relatively stable with proper nutrition.
