I'm Nilette K., the breeder behind Florida Lhasa Apso located in Apopka, FL. Our dogs are bred to produce litters that accurately represent the breed standard. The health and temperament of each puppy is very important to us and we selectively breed to ensure that our pups will be a beautiful addition to prospective fur-families.
Q. & A. with Nilette
Why did you start breeding?
A little over 6 years ago, I purchased my Daisy from a well-respected breeder. One thing led to another and I ended up showing her, completing her championship title, and later launching a breeding program.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are part of our family and our puppies are raised in our home and surrounded by love. My children are between 8 and 15 years old so there are always people in and out of our home. Our pups are very well socialized by the time they leave us.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Florida Lhasa Apso reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Lhasa Apsos.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Standard Veterinary Blood Panel
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
