Metalwire88 7 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I rescued a puppy and I am wanting to know if it is a Shih Tzu. I have had people tell me it is and also people tell me that they think it might be a Lhasa Apso. I have an appointment this month to get her in to get her the shots and spayed. I don't care either way, she will have a loving home for the rest of her life. I am just curious. I am also curious as to what age she looks like. She weighs around 5 lbs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunlite 9,105 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 She's beautiful, and does look like a Tzu, especially with that traditional underbite! Looking forward to more pictures, welcome to the Chatter zoo... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marlen 5,860 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Welcome to Chatter. She certainly looks like a tzu, and Susan is right about the underbite Unfortunately, I can't tell what age she might be. The vet will most probably look at her teeth and check some other things and he'll give you an estimation Edited June 11, 2014 by Marlen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vicki 8,173 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Welcome to Chatter! Your new baby is precious and I'm very partial to that Liver color! for rescuing her too! Please do let us know what your vet thinks! Vicki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Luna 8,676 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Maybe Shih Tzu, maybe Lhasa, maybe both. If her origins were from a puppy mill or byb it is not really uncommon for the dogs to be a mix of the two. In any case, she is a darling little thing and bless you for giving her a fur-ever home!

ShihTzusAreCute 3,662 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Welcome Your puppy is precious, I too think she is a Tzu/Lasha Apso mix most likely. Congratulation on adopting her Quote Link to post Share on other sites
