ABOUT SIDDHARTHA
TIBETAN TERRIERS
Thank you
for stopping by to visit with us here at SIDDHARTHA. We
hope you will enjoy meeting our Royal Holy Terrors -
Royal because SIDDHARTHA was the name of the Prince,
who became the first Buddha, Holy because of
their connections to the Monks of Tibet, and Terrors
– well your imagination can take care of that.
We are a small kennel and are committed to breeding for
true type and quality. Our mamas, papas, and their
puppies are reared
in the house, underfoot and into
everything. They even have their favourite television
programs. I have
four sons myself, and they regularly complain that you
have to have four legs to get any attention in this
house, but we all know what boys are like, and their dad
is just as bad, but I can forgive them that, as they too
love my four leggers, and will lend a hand when the need
arises, even share their tea with them, when they think
I am not looking, much to my delight, but don’t tell
them I said that.
With regular visits from the
children in our neighbourhood, and my many nieces
and nephews,
our little people are great
ambassadors. They love everyone, and accept and enjoy
the company of
dogs, budgies, and other small animals (yes even cats).
We do the best we can to give them a good start
and make them loving and happy
family pets, and have had many successes in the show
ring as a welcome bonus.

Protecting the breed is extremely
important to us, and to ensure that we have genetically
sound and healthy puppies, our dogs are hip scored, and
eye tested annually, and all have DNA Profiles. They are
also screened for PLL, NCL, PRA-3 and RCD-4.
The Siddhartha inmates
are micro-chipped, and all puppies bred here, have been,
and will continue to be,
micro-chipped before Kennel Club
registration,
and before they pack their bags
and wave goodbye.
Thanks to the diligent efforts of
those breeders
who came before me, on who lines
I based my own pursuit, we had a very good start.
It is at
this juncture I must give special thanks to Mrs. Pat
Tempest (Alilah), for trusting me with her lines,
and for all her ongoing support
and encouragement, and for being my friend.
It should be well known that Tibetan Terriers are luck
bringers, and I really do believe this. I have also
found that they can bring good and true friends, and I
am always happy to hear from the people who have left my
home with a puppy under their arm. Some have become very
close friends, no matter how many miles, or even oceans
separate us. Others might just pop the odd photograph in
the post, with maybe a few little comments, but this
thoughtfulness means so much to me, so my thanks to
those who give my little bundles a happy home, and an
even warmer thank you to those who keep in touch.
Now just a
little warning - be aware, as Fox Mulder would
say, be very aware,
Tibetan
Terriers promptly take over your heart, your home,
and the car.
Slainte,
Maureen
