Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Shining Waters Farm reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Cairn Terriers.
Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

+4Adding another dog to our house was a huge decision, but fortunately going through the process with Daniel was so easy. Throughout the experience, communication was clear and my confidence in the outcome didn’t waver. Absolutely WONDERFUL adoption, transportation, transaction, and everything else. Thank you to Shining Waters Farm and to Daniel!

+5Daniel was great to work with and walked us through the process with ease!!! The transport he provided was also top notch. Of course I was a little skeptical of buying a dog online, but after multiple exchanges by text, he made me feel comfortable. I will recommend anyone looking for a cairn terrier to use shining waters farm because they really love their terriers. They have made us feel comfortable, where we know we can reach out to them at any time to ask questions. Shining waters farm A++++++++++

First time Good Dog app user here and honestly we could not be happier with how everything worked. Easy communication and payment, and top-notch breeder. Daniel from Shining Waters Farm was a pleasure to work with and our new puppy Alexander is healthy, happy, and an absolute treasure. Daniel made sure to update us and stay in contact during the entire process. I traveled to pick up the dog and ran into some flight delays, no fault of ours, just bad weather. Daniel did what he could to help and I was able to pick up the puppy, fly home, and everything turned out great. From the time we’ve spent with Alexander, we can definitely tell he was raised in a loving and safe environment. He’s a fantastic puppy and Daniel at Shining Waters farm deserves thanks for getting Alexander off to such a great start. We could not be happier and we would recommend Shining Waters Farm to anyone. Thank you, Daniel!

+5I really can’t put into words how appreciative we are of Daniel in his role in caring for and providing us with our new best friend. He’s truly the perfect puppy; we absolutely love ‘em. Dan was professional, friendly, attentive and clearly loves Cairns. Our little guy has such a fun, jovial, bouncy and brave personality that likely would not have come forth without the emotional and professional support of his breeder. He’s a total goofball. It’s been one of the great joys of my life spending these first couple of weeks with him. I can assure you that Dan will be more than happy to answer any questions you have in your own journey towards finding your own pup. We really enjoyed meeting him and were lucky enough to see his beautiful property where our little guy was raised.

I want to thank Daniel and all his family at Shining Waters Farm for a great experience obtaining my new female Cairn pup. From initial contact and throughout the entire process, Daniel promptly answered all my questions and kept me updated on how my pup was progressing with photos and short videos. (Not an easy task when it comes to capturing little ones in constant motion!!) The details of pickup/transfer worked out great, allaying a lot of last minute anxiety that often happens with big events. The minute I saw my little girl's face and held her for the first time, my heart truly melted. I knew we both were in for a new, long and exciting adventure together. Thank you, Daniel for caring about this breed and by raising healthy & happy pups!
