Hello! Not sure if you have a male/female...if this is your first experience with dog husbandry, I would STRONGLY recommend you READ, READ, READ...dogs have a very specialized reproductive system which involves not only the physical cycles, but also the 'culture of dogs'(social relations).Lhasas in particular are susceptible to passing on a few genetically carried illnesses for which breeding candidates should be evaluated.
I know this may not be the answer you were looking for...I'd love to discuss it further with you. Please read as much as you can about Lhasas and about dog husbandry, my favorites in English:
CANINE REPRODUCTION-Phyllis A. Holst, MS, DVM
YOU & YOUR DOG-David Taylor
I am a vet tech of 15 years exp. if you have specific questions in mind. Give as much info as you can about your dog(s) and your intentions in regards to 'breeding'...puppies are not the money-makers they are portrayed to be, unless the breeder is unscrupulous about why and how they breed. This
