Shitz vs Lahsa

20 11:13:46

Question
What is the difference?  We rescused one or the other and just curious as to what differences are.  He is about 17 lbs and cream colored, Peke type face, very loving.

Answer
Please go to www.akc.org and pull up Lhasa Apso and Shih Tzu in the breed standards and you will be able to compare each one of them individually to their correct standards.  It is possible that he could even be a mix breed of the two but in either case you have given him a loving home and all that matters is that you love him.  Hope this helps.  Happy Holidays.
