The lhasa apso got its name from its birth place, in Lhasa, Tibet.

The full name means : "Bark lion sentinel dog" because they used to be gifts to the Dalie Lama to guard their temples.

What is a Dokhi Apso?

From Wikipedia: The Tibetan name for the breed [Tibetan Terrier], Tsang Apso, roughly translates to "shaggy or bearded (apso) dog, from the province of Tsang". Some old travelers' accounts give the name "Dokhi Apso," or "outdoor" Apso, indicating a working dog which lives outdoors. Other "Apso" dogs from Tibet include the smaller and more familiar Lhasa Apso (called the Lhasa Terrier in the early 1900s) and the very rare Do Khyi Apso (bearded Tibetan Mastiff, sometimes considered as a Tibetan Terrier/Tibetan Mastiff cross.)
