We’re considering purchasing a Shih Tzu Lhasa mix. Actually, they’re saying he’s a Lhasa Apso, but his nose is flat and I’ve never seen a flat nose in a Lhasa.

My current Lhasa has a regular nose.

The pup’s nose is real cute (I hope it doesn’t develop into bad eye staining). He looks more like a Shih Tzu to me, and that’s what we were looking for.

The breeds were inter-breeded for years so that’s not of concern.

Anyway, my concern is an underbite. He does NOT currently have an underbite at 3 months old, but I’m worried that one will develop since I’ve seen many Shih Tzu’s with an underbite.

Does anyone know? Have experience with their Shih Tzu or Lhasa?
The reason why I’m concerned is because personally I think an underbite looks hideous, especially on the Shih Tzu or a Lhasa.

(Personal preference held by my entire family and friends)… so please, no opinions, just facts, Thanks!
I just read on a website that visible teeth IS undesirable.

I don’t care about the breed standard for show purposes, but want a dog I find cute. My vet also agrees that an underbite with teeth showing is not cute.
Mustangly, it’s true, do your research. Way back in the VERY BEGINNING Shih Tzu’s and Lhasa’s were interbred (perhaps right before they were an completely official breed) and you can read about it in Lhasa books about the history of the breed. I own about 15 Lhasa books.

Due to changes in my wife’s health we need to find a new home for our one year old shih tzu. The dog is a female with current shots and a locator chip and paperwork certifying her pure pedigree. She originally cost $1500 as a puppy. How much should I list her for?

Please do not respond telling me that I should keep the dog.

soccer mom asked:


I am contemplating purchasing a Shih Tzu puppy. I have had experience with a female pup, but have been told that male Shih Tzus are more reserved and less interactive. I am looking for individuals that have male Shih Tzus. Are they all calmer/more shy than the girls? Or is it just a case of observing certain dogs? I would like to get a boy (I already have a male dog, different breed, and would like to keep things simple) but I also want a dog that will be playful and fun with my four children. Any help in this decision would be appreciated.
