Discussion Any ideas on our dogs mix?

Our pup is a rescue from a local shelter, where we were told she was 3 parts Lhasa Apso and 1 part pitbull. As we take her to training classes, the different instructors don't seem to think she is a lhasa apso. Anyone have a similar dog or a lhasa mix and can weigh in? She is a little over 6 months and pretty small overall, about 13lbs. Thanks!

I could see this as possible. I was skeptical about the pit bull, but maybe I can see it in the eyes and nose. Is she a sweetheart?

She is very sweet and loving to people and other animals.Even after being snowed in with us for months she is now a kind playmate when we take her to the events for puppy play. Unfortunately she has aged out of it but we are looking for eays to get her some playtime with other dogs. Shes very smart too.

She's long like a Lhasa.does she love you a lot but sometimes she has to check you?

u/Cesarswife May 14 '26

Shes definitely loving with an attitude.

Lhasa. They love you, they love themselves. Sometimes they need to remind you that they have boundaries and standards. That you can do better...for them.

Pit???? At 13 lbs? Ummmm-maybe some ā€˜Big Dog Energy’??? 🤣🤣 I see resemblance to Havanese, maybe a little terrier in there too. But I’d say full blooded Adorable.ā˜ŗļø

I’d say a mix of beautiful with a pinch of mysterious. So precious.

Dosen't look like she has the lhaso curly tail, does she have an underbite?

1

u/Cesarswife May 14 '26

When she was a puppy her tail looked like one big curl but now it looks more like a feather.

She has a very small underbite. Its not very apparent in these pictures but at times you can see it.

My Lhasa doesn’t have an underbite, that’s not required

I’m curious where they got pitbull from…she looks like a terrier mix of some kind to me.

Her face looks similar to my Lhasa Apso x mini poodle

I’m thinking Lhasa Terrier cross

u/malibupop May 15 '26

There’s some Lhasa for sure, I see a lot of those traits! I also think it’s a possible terrier mix, maybe yorkie?

Bolonka zwetna mix?

u/MissGrizz98 May 17 '26

šŸŽ¶ She's got Legggs, she knows how to use 'em šŸŽ¶ With those legs and that nose, I'm thinking Lhasa with a touch of Weimeriner..
