I'm Cynthia L., the breeder behind Cynthia's Lhasa Apsos located in Fort Worth, TX. The sweet, loyal, independent, regal, & playfful lhasas inspired me to begin responsibly breeding the breed and share them with others. Our dogs are fed a homemade dog food for health I believe training starts early. I work with wonderful puppies to teach them and give them a head start in life.
Q. & A. with Cynthia
Why did you start breeding?
I worked for a woman who loved and breeded lhasa apsos. She had a litter of pups I helped with. Oh so cute! My husband & I bought one and fell in love! We were absolutely in awe of his self assured personality, his intensity and his sweet expressions! My husband and I had recently retired. We were both excited about the idea of incorporating breeding lhasa apsos into lives and home. I enjoy it!
What makes your program special?
I believe we have the perfect conditions for our dogs. My husband cooks their food using healthy recipes for canine health. The romp around our large fenced backcyard. We play with and give heaps of affection to both puppies & the dogs. I believe in beginning training early and have had a lot of success in the areas of puppy biting, aggression, positive interactions, and house training.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle, grizzle, cream, black, and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Appo is heading to Louisiana on Monday. Chewy to Oklahoma Tuesday. Darla and Biscuit are moving to California Wednesday. Kula will head for Hawaii, Molly May to Tennessee, Spencer to Boston, Bogey to Orlando, while Grace, Bodhi, Atlas and Daisy move to different towns in Texas. One girl, Snickers will be here in Fort Worth. 13 puppies all moving in with their people in less than 2 weeks. I've never had so many puppies moving out of state. And this is always so emotional for me anyway because I cry when I say bye. So I am really really happy for the puppies to get all the attention they deserve in their new home. But my middle child/female just had 9 puppies, a lot of puppies for a Lhasa Apso! So it will be good that all 13 of these pups are moving in close succession and we will focus on working with Ebby's 9!! The pups that are moving come from 2 litters born a day apart, one had 6 and one had 7

Lhasa Apso
About Snuggies
Snuggles was our first lhasa apso. My friend bred lhasas, and i was there when his litter was born. My husband and I fell in love with the puppies. When there was one boy left, we broke down and bought him. And we fell so in love! The more we got to know him, the more we loved him. I began to research the breed, and every description of their personalities fit Snuggles to a T. As I read the descriptions aloud, George (husband) and i would chuckle because it sounded like they were describing our boy. He is fun-loving and playful. He amuses us with his personality. He is grizzle in color and is very confident and thinks he is bigger than he is. And most of all, he made lhasa apso fans of us! There is no other breed for us now, and our Lhasa Apso family began with our Snuggies!×

Ebony is a slate color lhasa Apso. She is fun-loving and happy.we added her to our family when she was 8 months old. My mentor had a pregnant lhasa, and i asked him how much he would want for a girl. He said, "for you..." and offered me a great deal. I had admired Ebby since she was a small puppy. I asked him how much for the ones he already had and he said the same price for any-and that's how we got our precious little girl!. She likes to explore and gets into anything she shouldn't. When she gets caught, she looks sweet, like.. Who me? She gets along very well with other dogs. We call her our silly girl! She is a first-time mama but doing very well in this role.

We are so happy with our experience with Cynthia! Finding a reliable Lhasa Apso breeder close by was a huge obstacle, I was so thrilled when we found her on GoodDog. The constant updates (photos/videos) truly set Cynthia apart. She made us feel connected to our puppy from day one. Thank you for our happy, healthy Atlas!

I am so so happy to have my new puppy Spencer in my life and so grateful to Cynthia for making it possible. He is only my second dog and this was my first time buying non-local but immediately any concerns and worries I had Cynthia put at ease. She was in contact with me through the whole process, sharing pictures and videos of my little guy. I felt like I got to know him before he came home and I knew he was coming from a loving place. I also feel like went above and beyond flying him to Boston - they had such a long travel day - I couldn’t have done it and will be forever grateful.
He has settled in so well- he’s my little shadow, full of energy and such a snuggler. We are so happy together. Thank you thank you .

Cynthia was great and easy to work with, and provided plenty of updates throughout the process. I couldn’t be happier with my Darla. She is sweet, funny, highly intelligent and fun to play with. A few friends have met her and are very impressed with how well behaved she is despite only being a puppy.

I first found Cynthia soon after the loss of my first Lhasa Apso Marley. I told her I didn’t feel ready yet to get another puppy. During that time we bonded and when she had Brandi’s litter she sent me an update with pictures of the two of the boys. Naturally I went looking at his siblings and I found our Bodhi. I was drawn to him. Working with Cynthia was so easy. She kept us updated on his status and sent pictures and videos along the way. He has brought such a joy to our home with his silly antics. We couldn’t be happier or love our lil guy more. He sure has a big personality in a tiny lil package.

We had the best experience with Cynthia. She was very responsive and always sent us updates, pictures and videos. It is so clear she loves her puppies and we really appreciated her flying to California to deliver us our new puppy, Biscuit. Thank you Cynthia!

Hello my name is Sylvia and I purchased a puppy from Cynthia. It was a wonderful experience. She is very sweet, patient and accommodating. She delivered my puppy to me on June the third. I was so happy to meet her. She went so far as to ask what I was naming her so she could address her my her new given name. I decided to name her Lady Gizelle Monet call name Gizelle. She is happy , healthy and getting spoiled. She is a very loving little girl . True to her breed she can be a little stubborn. She is such a cute little girl. She does so many cute things that keeps me laughing. We are now create training her and teaching her to walk in a leash without pulling. She does sit on the sit command, now I hope to teach her to sit and stay. I intend to keep in touch with Cynthia and updated of Gizelle progress. I have recommended Cynthia to one of the vet tech at Gizelle pet hospital. If you are looking for a Lhasa Apso puppy , I suggest to consider Cynthia’s Lhasa Apso as a resource.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
