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.

I’ve found a lot of websites for breeders that will ship the dog to me, however I want to interact with the pup before I purchase it without having to fly myself. I live in Northern NJ. Thanks in advance for the help.

My 8 month old mix pup has aggression towards strangers, we’ve tried clicker training, classical conditioning and many other methods so far nothing has made much of a difference.

I am getting a GSD pup this fall. I’ve opted for a DDR line, as I like the look of these the best. I’m working with a breeder. I’d like some opinions and information from other knowledgable owners, breeders and trainers of GSDs on the different types, such as Czech, DDR and West German. What are the qualities of each? I’m looking for a dog to be primarily a companion, with some agility and possibly therapy work down the road. I have plenty of time and space for it, it will be our only dog. I have a lot of dog experience, but this will be my first shepherd. I am not interested at all American lines.
Thanks!

I’m quite desperate to know which breed is better. My cousin is giving me a pup of either breeds so I’mresearching o what breed is better. I have a medium sized backyard but also have a large space of cemented floor outside the house. I don’t have much of a problem with grooming the coat because if ever I’ll have a Cocker Spaniel, I am not planning on keeping it like a show dogs coat.. I have saved quite an amount of money for the arriving dogs needs.. Please help me decide..

drumhead asked:


If my pup is 40lbs at 4 months, how big will he be at 8 months or more? His dad is a dobermann/shepherd and his mom is a pure rottweiler. Any info would be great! thanks!
So now I contacted the breeders and they said that the mom, which is a rottweiler is weighing in at around 95lbs and the father, which is a dobermann/German Shepherd, weighs at 75lbs. So estimated weight will be around?

I’d vote for the golden retriever.
We’ll say he’s a young pup, about 2, to make sure he’s got the longevity covered.

The golden would not be a POW
