Ooh, well, now that I see her body pictures, she definitely looks Lhasa. My breeder handled Lhasas from time to time but I never paid much attention to them. Ironic, huh? LOL. I never really got a chance to examine their heads/noses, so I can't tell you exactly what a Lhasa's nose should look like under all that hair. However, there could still be a slight chance that she is part Pekingese because I doubt Lhasas are supposed to have those wrinkles and underbite, whereas both are unique characteristics of the Peke. Plus, if I'm not imagining things, it looks like there's a slight slant from her bottom jaw/chin backwards to her forehead, like this ---> " / ". Is there?
As for measurements, my Peke is grossly over the standardized height and weight and weighs in at a hefty 19-20 pounds and stands at 10" or so at the withers. I haven't measured in a long time, but that's what I think his measurements are. Lhasas stand at a taller height, so it would make sense that your pup stands at 12-13". I haven't measured Lucky's length in awhile, but both Pekes and Lhasas are much longer than they are tall. The underbite is definitely either a defect or a Peke characteristic. I'll take a picture for you tomorrow, but Lucky's lower jaw extends at least a 1/2" forward and his front teeth sit on his gums. I hope this helps you

So they were getting bad. Its sad because a few of her older dogs, males for the most part, were absolutely beatiful. She could have good dogs. Same for her bostons she had, there were some perfect ones left, but many that were not. She had every size range you could imagine from too big, to too small, thats pretty bad for a breed that has more than one size in the first place. She kept breeding her smaller together...people like little dogs. She had some beautiful brindle bostons, but it got to the point that she never got black and white ones in the litters anymore.... The pugs were good at least. The Rotts never breed when I was there, they were getting a bit old if you ask me. Her Frenchies wouldnt either, she tried insemination and that didnt work either. I got several dogs out of there. I convinced her to let rescues take them, some even paid for the dogs! So they could make her let them go. There was a blind one, a deaf one, and one with pretty advanced heartworm, who also had a pyometra so bad that by time I got hewr to the vet her uterus had burst!! Ugh, it was horrible, I worked hard and rarely got paid. I was there for the dogs. I became an intermediate vet pretty much. I took care of all the sick ones, a few I couldnt save. I tried my hardest though. They used a farm vet, so they rarely kept an animal, you take all there injections and such home with you and administer it all yourself. Oh I could go on and on with stories. I wish I could get back in there some how so I could take my camera with me and get the place shut down. Its not her fault, and I would hate to do it to her. She has severe mental problems, schitzo and all, even was put away once while I was there. Her husband is a druggie who dont care what goes on and leaves it up to her to run the place. They hire young punks who use them for money, and place to stay and to support there own habits. A lot of them dont care what goes on with the dogs.....
