I'm the breeder behind Lots of Lhasa Love located in Gaffney, SC. Our focus is to produce the best dogs of the highest quality so that other families can also enjoy the love of a Lhaso Apso. These dogs have proven to be wonderful companions in our lives. It is a privilege to be able to share that love and friendship with others through responsible breeding.
Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
I used to breed Lhasa's a long time ago when I lived in Mississippi. After my mother passed away, I was lost, and I moved around a lot trying to find where I belonged in the world without her. I lost my male in a separation. But I had a female, Gracie, that basically parented me until she passed away at 15. Now that I am happy again to honor her, I started breeding again.
What makes your program special?
Lhasa's are a special breed and I keep my program small. Because I am about family and quality not quantity. There is not a day that goes by that they don't make me laugh and I'm sure, in their own doggy way, they laugh at me too.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

If I had to choose one word to describe Ava, it would be loyal. If there is a killer leaf outside, my other 2 dogs will check on it. But Ava stays with me to protect me. She is my lap baby. She tries to keep one paw on me at all times and lets me know that I belong to her. With her beautiful almond shaped eyes, she tells me that she loves me every day. She is a silverish color with beautiful grey markings. She is my AVEEE Baby.

Michelle was lovely to work with! She was always very quick with responses to questions and always provided daily updates while we were waiting for the puppy. After talking with her and seeing the videos of her interacting with the puppies, it was clear that she truly loves her pets. A few days after we picked up the puppy, she texted to ask how he was doing. This shows how much she cares.

We were lucky enough to adopt TWO sweet, healthy, loving boys this month. Michelle was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the process, she sent daily pics and videos which helped us get to know the dogs before we met them. It’s clear Michelle loves all the puppies and takes such good care of them. We feel so lucky to have found Michelle through Good Dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet Lhasa pup.

From the very beginning, Michelle was wonderful! She not only cared about her puppies but also the people who wanted the puppies! We were in daily communication including picture and videos of our chosen pup! She was so thorough in raising those puppies, giving them experiences and training lessons that really surprised us! Our pup is perfectly healthy and well socialized and behaves unbelievably well! She fit right in to our family, knew her name, and goes to the door when she needs to go outside! I consider Michelle family as this puppy is so amazing it is all due to her care!

We would like to express our deep gratitude to Michelle for making the experience of bringing Bam Bam into our family so special. As our first family pet, Bam Bam has already brought so much joy and excitement into our home, and our children are completely in love with him.
Your kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care for both Bam Bam and our family made this entire process smooth and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through such an important moment in our lives.
Thank you again for everything you’ve done to help us welcome Bam Bam into our hearts. We’re forever grateful!
Warm regards,
Vishan and Family

Michelle and I had excellent and frequent contact throughout the entire adoption process and felt like we really did have a great report with each other.
The main things that stood out for me were:
The Adoption Process; providing background information on the “parent/s” which is very important to the breeder.
Photos/videos really helped connect me with the puppy.
The breeder’s personal care she took with each puppy reflects through them to the new parent/s.
It could not have been a more wonderful, heartfelt experience! Thank you
