About Us


 

First we must thank Maureen Byrne of Dublin, Ireland for breeding and raising such a great puppy for us.  Murphy did not arrive in America until he was 7 months old, just before Christmas 2001 because of September 11th and the restrictions placed on air travel. 

Murphy arrived well socialized, leash & crate trained and housebroken.  He is great to groom and bathe, so I know that Maureen put many hours into him before he arrived here. 

Murphy has two owners here in the USA, myself, Jerrie Wolfe, who has been breeding and showing mainly Cairn Terriers under the prefix of Rose Croft.  I have been very successful with my Cairn breeding program, by breeding the Top Winning Cairn in the history of the breed, not just in America, but the world over.   Plus other top winners for the past 25 years, both here and abroad.

I have shown and finished several other breeds, mostly Terriers and have co-bred Chinese Cresteds with Irene Mogg for the past 20 years.  We have not been too active in Cresteds, breeding only 2 litters in the past 7 years.

I met Murphy's other owner when he was looking for a Cairn to purchase for his son.  He now owns or co-owns three Cairns and now Murphy. He will have to fill in the rest of the story here himself.

Our goal in Tibetans will be the same as it has been in my other breeds and that is to breed holistically ~ that is breed a whole dog, that is not only structurally sound and beautiful to behold, but also sound in mind and free of as many genetic defects as possible. 

Murphy starts his show career here Jan. 6th at the Contra Costa KC match and then his first shows will be Santa Clara weekend in February.

We only have Murphy for now, but we are planning on adding a female sometime in the future.

 







 

 

 

 

 

 

The meaning of our prefix
Tian-Min
has two meaning, mandate from Heaven or Heaven's Gate.  Murphy came into our lives just when I need some peaceful refocusing.  He has been a joy to live with after all these years of scrappy little Terriers.
