Meet the breeder

I'm Lori W., the breeder behind WoodSchott Cairn Terriers located in Savannah, MO. Our dogs are our kids. They live in our home and are spoiled rotten. It is a true joy to produce, raise, and place our pups! We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. We strive to provide each of our puppies and their families with a truly positive experience!

Q. & A. with Lori

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Grew up with my dad raising dogs. He raised hunting dogs, from hounds to Shorthairs and Beagles, and then got into Boxers. To be a part of watching each pup arrive, thrive, and to see their personality develop, has been a joy every time. I love being a part of bringing a family the joy of a healthy, even tempered puppy.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our babies are raised in our home, right where I can monitor and socialize the pups as they grow. We converted a room in our home for a designated nursery, so that our momma's and their babies can be away from the household noises, for their first few weeks. Once the pups start to toddle, they are moved to our living room. Our adults are on-site and available to be visited with when the new families are looking for a new family member.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include wheaten brindle, red, red brindle, red wheaten, cream brindle, cream, and black brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    After being involved in hundreds of business and personal transactions our purchase of Harley from Lori ranks in the very best. She is extremely communicative and conscientious. Her knowledge and care of the puppies is amazing. Lori provided us with at least weekly updates and videos of Harley from 4 weeks old until we met her and her husband Fred at 10 weeks old. Our veterinarian was very impressed with the level of care and preventative meds Harley received prior to our meeting. The Woodruffs are very loving and caring people who we wholly recommend.

    I was looking for a Carin for a very long time. I could not find any reputable breeders in Colorado. My parents always had a Cairn in the house when I was growing up and I wanted to add one to my family. I found Lori’s page and fell in love with her puppies! I initially reached out and she responded very quickly. We messaged back and forth for a while and she answered all my questions. The adoption process was simple and we were able to adopt our little boy March 2025! I live in Colorado and she is in Missouri and she met us half way in between! That was wonderful! I 100% recommend getting a little one from her!

    Lori was absolutely wonderful to work with! She's very responsive to messages and played a huge role in choosing my puppy. Her description and pictures of "Mr. Blue" were so detailed that I knew he was the right one for me! Lori answered all of my questions, walked me through the process, and was there every step of the way until he was in my arms. Cornelius is now almost 7 months old and growing beautifully! Everyone who meets him, falls in love with him. He is smart, goofy, affectionate, and has been a breeze to potty train. 10/10. I recommend Woodschott Cairn Terriers. A lot of love goes into breeding these pups and it shows. Thank you, Lori, for helping me in my journey of finally getting my little dream dog. He's the best!

    May 4, 2026: I couldn’t be more pleased with Lori Woodruff as a breeder. She kept me informed the entire time-from my first inquiry about one of her puppies, to picking up my puppy and bringing her home, and everything in-between—and after that as well. Lori responds to my questions warmly, quickly and instructionally now just as before. Lori has indicated that she is interested in the well-being of her puppies for their entire lifetime. It is evident that Lori deeply loves her cairn terrier puppies and works hard to prepare them for the families who will have them in the future. Her knowledge of the breed is invaluable. I brought my puppy Lucy home five days ago. Two days ago, she had her wellness exam with her new vet, and the vet was delighted with her. Here are the vet’s exact words in a written summary of our visit (that I didn’t request or expect): “I'm so happy to report that Lucy is a healthy, bright, and confident little puppy! She weighed in at 4.74 pounds and showed wonderful puppy behavior during her visit - curious, alert, and appropriately social with her tail wagging”. I appreciate so much the videos that Lori posted almost daily, sometimes more than once in a day, about the two litters that were born four days apart. It was fun to watch the puppies interact with each other and with Lori, and to hear the narration by Lori in which each puppy was highlighted and she described their personalities. It was more than just entertainment for me, but instructional in how to guide a puppy into good behavior without undermining their confidence, or their puppy wonder with the world. Now that I have Lucy home I can see even more how much Lori has prepared Lucy to be a very trainable and delightful puppy. 5 out of 5 stars.

    We could not have been happier with WoodSchott Cairn. You could tell Lori really cared about her pups. We are were fortunate to have Lori as a partner with Good Dog.

    From the very beginning Lori was kind and responsive. She overwhelmingly showed her love and compassion of the breed. It was such a great experience working with her! We are overjoyed with our pup. She raises them as if they are her children. Our girl is healthy and happy and it’s because she came from a good home.
