Meet the breeder
I'm Tara D., the breeder behind JoTa's Cairns located in Port Huron, MI. We're hobby breeders of carefully selected Cairn Terriers. We breed to our club standards, and it is our goal to better the breed. The main priority in our program is health. We want to make the transition from our loving home to yours as seamless as possible by giving personal attention to each little pup to ensure it is well-rounded and prepared to excel in its forever home.
Q. & A. with Tara
Why did you start breeding?
It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal bloodlines, but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!What makes your program special?
JoTa's Cairns is committed to only breeding dogs that meet the strict guidelines for quality that we have deemed appropriate to improving this wonderful breed. Our focus on health, conformation, and beauty brings us to the front of the pack. If you are looking for the perfect furry companion, look no further!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
