The History of Barclay/Lyca Poodles


BARCLAY is Barbara Burdick. I have had poodles all my life, and started breeding and showing in 1984 after 2 legged kids were grown. My first red was a miniature who obtained her obedience title. I bred her to Ch. Lyca Dime Store Novel which started a career and a lasting friendship with his owner Camille Lashley. Even at 12 years of age, Ch. Lyca Dime Store Novel looked great!

From that breeding came a little red bitch, Ch. Barclay Lyca Copper Penny CD. Tori finished with 2, 5 point majors and went right into obedience. After Tori came Ch.Barclay Forever Amber. Amber is the mother ofOTCH Barclay's Adobe UDX OA and sister of OTCH Barclay's Aldus UDX OA and Grandmother to Rubicund Delicious Apple UD OA at the age of 22 months. Ch.Tapestry Elegance needs to be mentioned, she was a Lyca Dime Store Novel daughter and a group and Best in Show winner.

Camille Lashley is LYCA POODLES and a top professional handler. She has been breeding and showing for 33 years. She is best known for her apricot miniatures. Camille was the owner handler of Ch.Lyca Dime Store Novel. One day Camille called me and asked if I would like a bitch to get ready for the ring. That was the start. That bitch is Lyca Jerod in a Frenzy, Kelsey is mother of Ch. Barclay Lyca High Cotton a group 1 winner, and Ch. Barclay Lyca Short Story. Ch.Barclay Lyca Twisted Sister is now home tending to babies. After Kelsey came SKC Ch. Simi Lyca Wild Thing. Lindsey is mother of Ch. Barclay Lyca Wild Connection, who was the 1997 Grand Champion of the William Penn Futurity and became a AKC Champion as a young adult. Also Annabelle's brother, Ch.Barclay Lyca O!Henri finished as a puppy. There is also Ch.Barclay Lyca Sierra Sunset daughter of Lyca Sierra Sun. We also have her other daughter, Barclay Lyca Aftermath, who is preparing for the breed ring. Barclay Lyca Missing Piece is almost a Champion herself.

Two new champions Ch.Barclay Lyca Long Stem Rose, owned by Camille and Barbara, Ch.Barclay Lyca Capture Our Heart, owned by Camille and Barbara. Their younger sisters, Barclay Lyca All That Glitters and Barclay Lyca Wild Attraction, will be starting in the spring. Their father is Ch. Lyca Novel Attraction who is on his way to being the top producer.

Here is a picture of CH.Barclay Lyca Solve the Puzzle. Maxwell finished his championship with 4 majors and limited showing. A brother, Malone, Ch. Barclay Lyca Puzzle Solved also finished with 4 majors in 4 shows. He finished out of the Bred By class. The Barclay/Lyca team finished the 2001 year with 6 new champions.

Watch in 2002 for our new babies to come out.

We also sent Ch.Barclay Lyca Oh! Henri and Barclay Lyca Wild Attraction to Gisela Mucke in Germany. So far Henri is doing some winning and woooing the girls.

We have a new little black toy out, Barclay Lyca Justa Illusion. Watch for her, she is halfway there. Barclay Lyca Silver N Gold is on her way too. She is a cream miniature.

Camille does a wonderful job picking the puppies and finishing them to their Championship. I only have her to thank for giving me an opportunity to co-own and care for her dogs. I think we make a pretty good team, even if we are 600 miles apart. You may reach Camille by calling 502-245-LYCA. Barbara at 215-657-5673
