Oh yeah, I did LOTS of research! As a matter of fact, I did check the American Lhasa apso club, but there was no one near me at all. I believe that all the puppies are from around 3 different litters... Not all from the same time though, I called the breeder and she told me that some were ready now, some will be ready in 4 weeks, and some will be ready in 7 weeks... Also, the puppies parents are there for you to see when you go to look at puppies, luckily!
