Can lhaso poos have long legs?

Depends on the poodle that it was breed with. Poodles have longer legs than Lhasa Apos naturally. I have seen Lhasapoos with long legs and long tails, whereas mine has short legs and a stub for a tail.

Is it common for the Lhasapoo to go from a non-shedding dog to, after 5 years, a shedding dog with a slight undercoat? She never shed before but now we have a shedding issue along with a lot of under "fluff" that I can brush out daily. Incredible!
