Is Woofie a Lhasa Apso?

Posted : 11/11/2008 1:30:06 PM

We've had Woofie for five years, and I always thought he was a Lhasa Apso mix, but now I'm wondering if he is a purebred. He came to us as a puppy, with no history of where he came from.

Here he is at about 6 months old: [IMG]http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k304/racuda00/woofiecopy.jpg[/IMG]

Here he is as a young adult, with an un-trimmed coat: [IMG]http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k304/racuda00/woofie.jpg[/IMG]

And here he is, present day, in a cell phone video: [URL=http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k304/racuda00/?action=view¤t=072208_185900.flv][IMG]http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k304/racuda00/th_072208_185900.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Do you think he is a Lhasa Apso, or a mix, or something else?

His coloring reminds me of a Havanese. His tail carriage is not as curled as the pics of Havanese, Lhasa Apsos, and Shi-Tzus I have seen, tho. He kinda looks like one of those designer poodle mixs.

Definitely not a purebred Lhasa. His coat is different (it would be much longer and not wavy), along with his long legs and body. To me, he looks like a Terrier mixed with a Lhasa.

He reminds me of Benji. I loooove Benji. He's adorable! Maybe Lhasa/Terrier?

Yes, I could buy the terrier part. He has big ol terrier teeth and when prey is near he becomes single minded and deaf.
