OWNER: CARYL CROUSE with great assistance and support from my husband David
I am the mother of 2 grown daughters and the proud grandmother of 2 grandsons. I have been involved with dogs all of my adult life. I started out in Obedience with Labrador Retrievers. I was fortunate to be able to combine my love of dogs and a business when I owned and operated one of the largest training facilities in New England, which I sold after 9/11. It was while training in obedience that I saw and fell in love with Tibetan Terriers. I acquired my first TT, Cooper, in 1996 and the rest as they say, is history.
Lyrac Tibetan Terriers is a small breeding program located in Plainville, MA dedicated to maintaining the standards of this incredible little dog. This wonderful breed, though relatively new to the Western world, is considered one of the oldest in existence.
This is not a large kennel but rather a small program with only about 1-2 litters per year. My goal is always quality rather than quantity. There are no kennel runs. All of the dogs live in our home and play together in the backyard.
I am a member of the Tibetan Terrier Club of America (look for me on their Breeder Referral list), a board-member of Hockamock Kennel Club & President of Bay Colony Tibetan Terrier Club.
2009 was a busy year here at Lyrac. Isis had her puppies (3 girls & 2 boys - all black with white markings) on June 11th. Two of the girls & one of the boys will be making their debuts in the show ring this year. Alexis/Lexi is coming into her own and will be shown as a Special. So if you see us at the shows please stop & say hello.
On a personal note my local TT club (Bay Colony Tibetan Terrier Club) honored me last fall by electing me as their present. This year will be very busy as we will be hosting not only our own Specialty but the Tibetan Terrier Club of America's National Specialty as well in Boxborough, MA. It was also a good year physically for me as I lost 40 pounds with the help of TruChocolate. I was so impressed with this all natural product and how it works I am now a distributor so check it out at TruChocolate.com.
