I'm the breeder behind Catherine Marley's Lhasa Apsos located in Waxhaw, NC. I breed authentic Tibetan type Lhasa Apsos for pet owners, show fanciers, and breeders. My dogs are bred for health, temperament, correct type, and structure. I have been breeding and exhibiting Lhasas for 40 years. I work closely with breeders in France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Denmark, so I have some European perspective as well as the local (USA) perspective.
About Catherine
I am a physician and have published many articles on Lhasas over the past 30 years. I am a member of the Danish Lhasa Apso Club, the Lhasa Apso Club of Canada, and the American Lhasa Apso Club.
What makes Catherine’s program special
My dogs are one of a kind. I am always available to answer your Lhasa questions.
Catherine is a member of 3 clubs

Catherine’s certifications & recognitions
Multiple Publications, AKC Breeder of Merit
Catherine has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,500.
Catherine may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Catherine offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Catherine directly.
Pups are well socialized with other dogs, people, and children. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with Adult Dogs, Household Desensitization, and Socialized with Children.
Puppies are vaccinated before leaving for their new homes.
We send our puppies home with Microchip and AKC Registration.
Catherine offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“I do not ship. All puppies are met at my home. People from a distance will be met at the airport if necessary.”
Why Catherine started breeding
I became interested in the breed in 1970. Since then, I have placed dogs in 15 different countries. Breeding has been the most fulfilling journey.
Catherine has been a member of Good Dog for over 4 years
Catherine was screened for responsible practices and has been a member since 2020.
