Cairn Terrier Puppies available from Breeder in Tucson Arizona. Our dog breeding kennel of German Shepherds for more than 30 years has also a long history of breeding Cairn Terriers. We owned our very first Cairn Terrier female, Kara, in Germany , before we moved to America! She had 2 litters in Germany and 1 litter here in the USA. After she past at age of thirteen we hace 10 years of “no Cairn Terriers”. Until we aquired a female from a breeder here that was willling to let us have a fully registered Cairn Terrier female named Buttons. This is when our enthusiasm of breeding Cairn Terriers kicked back in. After our current female retired we had to take a longer break again as it was impossible to obtain a fully registered Cairn Terrier female here in America. We were fortunate enough to be able to import 2 brindle females and a brindle Cairn Terrier Stud dog from Europe! They now got to be old enough to open our breeding program back up. What a success to celebrate our first litter of four puppies!

Breeders and judges have the responsibility to avoid any conditions or exaggerations that are detrimental to the health, welfare, essence and soundness of this breed, and must take the responsibility to see that these are not perpetuated.
Any departure from the following should be considered a fault, and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree and its effect upon the health and welfare of the dog and on the dog’s ability to perform its traditional work.
History
The Cairn Terrier was developed in Scotland to hunt otter, fox and other vermin along the shoreline. The Scottish, West Highland White and Cairn terriers were developed from the same stock, first called Scotch terriers and later Skye terriers. The three were often found in the same litter, distinguished only by color.
The Cairn first competed for challenge certificates in England in 1912.
The Cairn Terrier was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1959.
