The Lhasa is generally longer in body than the Shih Tzu but they are very close in height and weight. The Lhasa Apso stands 10-12 inches high and weighs 13-15 pounds. The Shih Tzu reaches heights up to 11 inches and can weigh up to 16 pounds. The Lhasa is longer in body than the Shih Tzu but they generally are of the same height and weight.
Both a Shih Tzu and a Llasa Ahpsa (I apologize if either are spelled wrong) are small breed dogs, weighing typically less than 20 pounds at maturity. Therefore, a cross between these two breeds should also be a small-type dog, probably also less than 20 pounds.

Yes, you need to groom every breed at least somewhat. A Shih Tzu x Lhasa Apso mix likely has medium to long hair, which will need to either be kept short or brushed on a weekly basis to remove knots. Both of those breeds also tend to get tear stains on their faces and food stains around their mouths, which should be kept clean for the sake of the dog's comfort. As with any breed, nails need to be kept short and teeth need to be brushed regularly to maintain good health.

The term "shih tzu" should not be capitalized unless it begins a sentence or is part of a title. It refers to a breed of dog, and breed names are generally not capitalized in English. However, "Shih Tzu" is often capitalized in dog breed registries or formal contexts to emphasize the breed's distinctiveness.
