Whatsa Apsa
Well, that’s what Max is currently. His adoption papers said Lhasa but I think I wrote previously that I did some snooping around and found a breeder’s site with a picture of a pup that looks like Max. The site said that Max is a Shih Tzu Bichon mix. A “designer” (aka a fancy way for some breeders to sell mutts to make a buck) type of dog that is also known as a Zhucon.
When I saw Max the first time, he didn’t quite seem like a Lhasa. Purebred they said. When I took him to puppy school, many said that he doesn’t look too Lhasa-ish. He’s got some but there’s something else. The instructor, he said that he’s almost sure Max isn’t a purebred.
I’m not too worry if he’s pure or not. I just thought that knowing makes it easier for me to learn about him kind. I have read books on Lhasas since I got him and maybe all the obvious articles online. I also read a few training books and stuff online and have been training Max as if he’s a Lhasa. He seems to take to the method so maybe the whatever Lhasa in him is ok with my choice :D
