We are members of the Tibetan Terrier Club of America (TTCA) and the all-breed  Packerland Kennel Club (PKC). Linda has served as a Vice President of the TTCA and as an officer/Board of Directors member of the PKC. As members of the TTCA, we support the TTCA "Guidelines for Responsible Breeders" and we are on the TTCA Breeder Referral List.  We encourage you to visit the TTCA website to learn more about the TT parent club.

PUPPY SOCIALIZATION

Our puppies all receive daily handling from the day they are born.  We believe is extremely important to take our puppies to new environments and to meet other people and carefully selected good natured dogs of other breeds.  We believe that this is an important foundation for developing the personality of ach and every puppy.

We will raise only as many litters as we can give the proper time and effort to. We are fortunate to have extended family who love to help play with and socialize our delightful young puppies.

BREEDING FOR THE FUTURE

We believe that the focus of each litter should be trying to produce high quality TTs that will be an asset to the breed--TTs that we can be proud of having bred.  We will not breed to produce "just another litter."

SELECTION OF SIRES AND DAMS

When selecting the sires/dams of our future litters we follow a very high standard of ethics.

     1.  All sires/dams MUST be champions.  Why?  Well, if they are not good enough to earn a championship they are not good enough for our breeding program.  We believe in breeding high quality to high quality to get high quality.  In addition to being champions, many of our sires/dams have earned additional titles including Best in Show, Specialty Best in Show, Group awards, Register of Merit awards, Canine Good Citizen (CGC) awards, Obedience titles,and Agility titles.

     2.All of our sires/dams have passed CERF/CERF eligible exams and /or ERG eye exams (or the foreign equivalent of these exams).

     3.  All of our sires/dams have a permanent OFA hip rating.  In order to get this they must be at least 2 years of age.  OFA will only give permanent ratings to mature TTs, anything under 2 years is considered by OFA as being too immature to be given a permanent hip rating.   We breed only mature sires and dams, even though it means waiting patiently for them to grow up to be at least 2 before they can be used in our breeding program.

The OFA website lists OFA and CERF and other info and we encourage you to check it out to verify the hip and eye results on our dogs or anyone else's at  www.offa.org
