Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
I began showing and breeding dogs over 25 years ago, and my love affair with Cairn Terriers started in 2013. It is an honor, as well as a personal passion, to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising and working with these wonderful dogs.What makes your program special?
I strive to not only produce beautiful, healthy puppies and continue my show line but also to help promote responsible ownership and breeding to ensure that the Cairn Terrier will continue to thrive for generations to come. Our puppies have the proper temperament to not only be outstanding companions but to participate in all manner of enriching activities.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
