We are Bob and Linda McCue. We live in rural Ottawa, Ontario Canada with 5 acres of roaming space.

Our first dog was a wonderful Old English Sheep Dog called "Mr. Mugs". He became a member of our family when our two sons were very young. Scott was five and Starr was a few months old. He was always great with them and was a wonderful companion and friend to all who knew him. When he left us at the old age of fourteen we began our search for a smaller breed of dog with all the same qualities we loved in him.

Our search ended when we discovered the Tibetan Terrier. We got our first TT "Taiga" a gorgeous gold and white affectionate, energetic character. He was such a delight we became addicted and added two more puppies to our family.

First came "Keisha" a charming little reddish gold vixen with a heart as gold as her colour. Later came "Tikki" a champagne gold and white little angel who flies like a gazelle around our house.

All of our adults have achieved their Canadian championships.

Having had dogs and other animals all our lives a house full seems just right for us.

Taiga, Keisha and Tikki were bred by Joyce Ayotte at Bootiff Kennels in Plattsburg, New York. Joyce has been breeding since 1980 and is our friend and mentor and has been a valuable source of advice since we began breeding.

We have been involved with showing, training and breeding since 1990. We participate in Conformation, Obedience (as participants and trainers), Fly Ball and other dog related activities.

We are members of the following organizations:

• Tibetan Terrier Club of Canada TTCC 
• Canadian Kennel Club CKC

We are past members of the following organizations:

• Tibetan Terrier Club of America TTCA
•  Ottawa Kennel Club OKC 
• Canadian Association Pet Dog Trainers CAPDT
   

We are continually taking courses and seminars to keep ourselves updated. We have taken workshops and /or seminars under the following well known trainers
 

We typically have 1 or 2 litters per year.

All our dogs have annual checkups and vaccinations and are checked for eye diseases each year. Testing for Hip Dysphasia is done at the age of two.

We only breed dogs that are genetically mentally and physically sound.

We feel that temperament is most important. The puppies are socialized with adults, children and dogs and are home raised in a family environment. We like to keep the puppies until 10 to 12 weeks old to ensure the above socialization takes place.

We may let the puppy go slightly sooner if the owners are experienced and are able to continue the socialization. We feel it is very important to match the personality and temperament of the puppy with the preferences and lifestyle of their new family.

Linda is a retired school teacher who’s full time occupation is caring for the adult dogs and puppies. Bob works in Electronic Engineering by day and is dog lover and careperson nights and weekends.

We care about the dogs we breed for their lifetime and make ourselves available for information, advice and help. If at any time for any reason the owners can no longer care for the dog he can always come back to us. We love to hear from our puppies and their families and are ecstatic when we receive a picture of one of our little ones.
