Q. & A. with Joan
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Cairn Terriers inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. I am very proud to be breeding these incredible dogs. I focus on breeding excellence. My dogs regularly compete in the show ring and are proven champions. Puppies are bred for health, temperament, and to meet conformation standards.What makes your program special?
I am a professional handler of Cairn Terriers. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible breeding policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
