Puppy Referral

A Puppy Information Request Form  will generate an e-mail to all members who reed Cairns and who might have puppies.   It will be up to tem to contact those filling out the form. Please take time to read the contents of this page before submitting it.  The information on this page can help  you make the right decision. The form will send your contact information to club members who may have available puppies.  (click the blue words to go to the form.)

Now that you have decided that the pure bred Cairn Terrier is for you, you will want to know where to find one. Cairn Terriers have small litters, one or two puppies is not uncommon, so there tend to be few available at any given time.  

Your next job now is to find a Responsible Breeder. On this page, there are links that discuss Breeders, Puppy mills, etc.. 
What is a Responsible Breeder? At a minimum, an ethical, responsible, reputable breeder will adhere to a Code of Ethics, which defines breeding practices and responsibilities.  
In addition, they will be a continuing source of knowledge and information about our breed.  They will require a contract which spells out the rights of the seller and the buyer, health information, altering and return information.   Look at the sidebar links.
