We are doing lots of research, only looking local breeders. The lady we may be seeing today also takes care of rescue/foster Lhasas as well. But I just don't think that we are equipped to handle a special needs dog for our first pet together. Especially if I'm going to be taking him/her to the groom shop to hang out with other dogs.
