Q. & A. with Clifton
Why did you start breeding?
I originally started in poodles and moved to Lhasa Apsos, acquired my first show dog and the rest is history.
What makes your program special?
Our commitment to pedigree dogs and Lhasa Apsos is something we take great pride in. Our breeding plans are the culmination of hours of study, evaluation, and peer review. Every single puppy produced is loved, cherished, and enabled from the day they are born. Our breeding program is free of all chemicals and all our dogs are fed 100% natural food and we use all-natural shampoos and conditioners.
