United by the Cairn Spirit

We’re the Cairn Terrier Club of Northern California—a dedicated group of owners, breeders, and enthusiasts who share a deep love for this bold, friendly, and lively breed. Our mission is to promote and preserve the Cairn Terrier through community, education, and responsible ownership.
