ABOUT US  Our kennel name is pronounced "kah-LER'-in", derived by combining our first names. We think it has a nice lilt. Larry and I are retired empty nesters blessed with two sons, lovely daughters-in-law and six grand children. We have the luxury of staying at home with our dogs. We are a small breeder and exhibitor of Biewers and Yorkshire Terriers with only a few litters a year; just the opposite approach than puppy mills. Our dogs are our family. They are beloved pets first, and show dogs second. They cuddle with us on the furniture, hang out in the kitchen, watch T.V with us and play in our fenced yard. All of our dogs and puppies live with us in our home, never in kennels. As an adult, I always had large dogs. I used to show and breed Afghan Hounds and also had a Borzoi and an Irish Setter. If we add up all my years working with dogs, I have over 40 years of experience (I won't say how many years over, lol). I never had much regard for the toy breeds and dismissed them as being silly "foo foo" dogs. When my father passed away, I inherited his beloved little Yorkie who had the name of Muffy. I thought it was an embarrasing name and tried to change it to Murphy for more dignity, but she wouldn't have it. Muffy knew me well from many visits when my family would come to my house to spend weekends with us in Puget Sound for fishing and crabbing. Muffy was always ready to jump in the boat and knew how to stay out of the way when we had a fish on. Muffy accompanied us to Baja, Mexico, where we lived for three years on our sailboat. There she transformed from a dog who hated to get her feet wet in the grass to a dog eager to swim in the Sea of Cortez. She would jump into the dinghy to go to shore for potty breaks. She loved to stand in the bow of the dinghy with her hair flying, then she would jump into the water and swim to shore with her coat floating like a mermaid. Well that is all it took for my husband and I to fall in love with the Yorkshire Terrier breed. So brave, athletic, and fearless. We lost our beloved Muffy to cancer at the age of 14 1/2. It was the only time I saw my husband cry. Two months later we couldn't stand it any longer and purchased our first Yorkie puppy and the rest is history. We have been enjoying our Yorkies for several years and then we discovered the Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom Pon, it was love at first sight. It took us well over two years to find our foundation dogs. Taking our time to study and being patient really paid off, confirmed by our excellent health record, show wins and our outstanding pups. "He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion" -- Unknown |
 Our home is located in Puget Sound, Washington State on Gig Harbor peninsula surrounded by salt water from the Pacific Ocean on two fenced acres. It is like living in a National Park, with forests, lawns and gardens and tons of room for our dogs to run. And run they do like little Greyhounds. Feel free to contact us. We love to hear from you. Warm Wishes, Larry and Carolyn |
