I'm Karen W., the breeder behind Falkirk Cairns located in Atlanta, GA. I have been showing and breeding Cairn Terriers for 25 years. I only breed occasionally, perhaps only once a year. I only breed occasionally so my dogs may live a full and proper life. I don't consider them just for breeding, they are so much more than that. I do everything I can to ensure I am breeding the highest quality of dogs.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
My parents were dog show exhibitors and breeders of Weimaraners. My mother went on to Smooth Fox Terriers. I grew up in the dog show world and around preservation breeders. It has always been a part of my life.
What makes your program special?
I breed only occasionally, and it is when I want something to further my line. I carefully select what dogs I breed together. I rehome my dogs upon retiring from the show ring or breeding program. Please note that I will not ship a puppy anywhere. You must qualify for a puppy/dog, and you must come pick up in person.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
