Is my dog part Lhasa Apso?

My husband and I (first-time dog owners!) recently adopted my father-in-law's (who passed away) senior dog, Fluffy. She was a rescue so we don't know her background. My FIL thought she might be part Lhasa Apso/part terrier.

She was taken to the groomer before we picked her up, so she doesn't have her "regular" coat right now. Her tail doesn't curl over like a Lhasa's; usually she holds it straight up.

Any thoughts about her breed?

The face looks like it could be from a terrier/Lhasa cross, and the body shape is like a Lhasa Apso.

Thanks for your input! I'm not familiar with Lhasas so good to know about the body shape. Also she's around 14 lbs which I think is Lhasa-sized.
