Who We Are

New York Lhasa Apso Breeders.com is a network of responsible and professional dog breeders. Our organization is made up of many dog lovers who strive to place the perfect puppy with families throughout the country. We created this network with one intention: to offer a confident resource for people to find quality, healthy and happy puppies for their families. We have created a thorough screening process that each breeder must go through before we accept them into our network. Once accepted, our Breeder Department stays in consistent contact with the breeders to guarantee they continue to follow our stringent policies. We do this to assure our families that no matter when they choose their new addition, they can be confident they will receive a happy and healthy puppy.

All breeders must abide by our code of ethics as detailed below.

• I follow all AAHA standards and protocols for properly vaccinating and deworming all litters.
• I properly socialize my puppies on a daily basis with my family and other pets.
• I am knowledgeable about inherited health problems in my breed and will do appropriate health clearances on all breeding animals.
• I conscientiously plan each litter of pets for sale by carefully selecting a sire and dam to be mated based on their pedigrees, conformation, and temperament.
• I do not breed any sire or dam until they are both physically and mentally mature enough to breed.
• I will not continue to breed any sire or dam beyond the appropriate age for the breed.
• I will not knowingly misrepresent the characteristics of the breed, nor falsely advertise, or mislead any person regarding the performance of any of my dogs for sale.

Who We Fight Against

Puppy mills produce puppies with no breeding programs in place. Little attention is paid to puppy placement, health, and socialization practices. Conditions in puppy mills are generally substandard. Both puppies and adult dogs may be malnourished, sickly, and may have poor temperaments.

We at New York Lhasa Apso Breeders.com constantly review and assess our procedures and protocols for screening and monitoring breeders. We do everything possible to ensure that we only represent professional and responsible breeders. Our organization has a Zero Tolerance Policy for breeders who do not follow any item in our code of ethics.

Community Commitment

Within our organization, both individually and as a group, we strongly support animal rights and are very active in fundraising activities. We actively support and volunteer in a number of humane and rescue groups.
