Meet the breeder

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.
