Where to buy a puppy? From a reputable source of course - and the place to start is with a Breed Club. All members of Cairn Terrier Breed Clubs are expected to adhere to the Cairn Breeders’ Code of Conduct, which can be found on this web site.

The Cairn Terrier Club, among others, has a “puppy liaison” whose function is to put potential buyers of puppies in touch with breeders who have puppies for sale, puppy liaison contacts are given below.

The Puppy Liaison can also advise on the suitability of the Cairn as a family pet, relative to various factors:
Ages of children - Cairn puppies are very small and young children can be unintentionally rough.
Fenced garden - Cairns are notorious for escaping.
Time the puppy may be left alone - lonely, bored pups can be destructive, noisy and difficult to house - train.
Other factors to consider are grooming - not demanding but the coat needs professional attention once or twice a year.
Training - Cairns tend to be a little self - willed but this is part of their charm.
An illustrated information leaflet on the breed, which also gives suggested reading, is available from the puppy liaison or the Secretary.
