Any dog experts here?

What exactly is the difference between a Lhasa Apso and a Shitz Tsu? We have a Lhasa and they're nearly identical. How do you tell the difference?

shih tzu is a mix breed. the lhasa was also the master dog to the royal family in tibet. there are facial differences, and certainly color differences. shih tzu come in mostly silver/black, lhasa range from light tans to orange colors. I own a lhasa

Oh come on, the dog belongs to my two kids It's a perfect dog when you don't have a huge yard and don't have a lot of time for walks. Damn thing does look like an Ewok though.
