Pups are available this spring.
Our Flicker whelped a boy-heavy litter of pups on March 25, 2025, with Liam as sire. These should be very compact dogs, close to breed standards, with correct coarse wheaten coats. We expect these to be fantastic companion dogs. They will be available for reservations, after they have a week or two to grow. |
If you are not ready now, but willing to wait for a future puppy, please go to our contact page,
answer the questions, and please be patient until the right puppy arrives for you!
We are not able to control heat cycles, pregnancy numbers,
coat colors of puppies, or the genders of the puppies born.
We are, however, able to predict wonderful temperaments, healthy & well-socialized puppies!
Usually, we have a waiting list. A very long list. Occasionally we have a puppy suddenly available due to unforeseen circumstances.
The health of our dogs is our first priority. Overbreeding is NOT good for our dogs.
Our dogs are allowed one litter per year to have the large healthy litters we regularly see.
If you truly want a Cairn terrier in your home, waiting should be expected at this time. Your dog will be with you for 12 to 16 years. Waiting for your new puppy to arrive shouldn't be a problem.
Important note: we do NOT sell puppies for breeding purposes. We raise quality purebred home companions. All our puppies, except for very rare occasions, are limited AKC registration with spay/neuter contracts.
On those very rare occasion that we have a puppy suitable for breeding or show, that puppy is NOT available at pet/companion prices.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR FULL REGISTRATION SO YOU CAN "RAISE JUST ONE LITTER"!!!

Contact us if you would like to have information that is not available here on our website.
All of our puppies are born in our home under close supervision. They are carefully socialized from birth to be family-friendly.
Dewclaw removal is completed at three days of age.
Each litter is registered with AKC, and each puppy comes with limited AKC registration.
Every puppy has had a well-puppy check-up with our veterinarian and is vaccinated & dewormed at the appropriate times.
Puppies are kept with us until they are at least eight weeks old to allow proper growth and development. We like for puppies to go home with their new family before ten weeks of age for proper bonding. Reserved puppies left longer than ten weeks will be subject to boarding & training fees and additional veterinarian expenses as they continue their puppy vaccination series.
Spay or neuter contract is included with the sale agreement and health guarantee. (See an example on the page labeled Our Puppy Contract & Guarantee.)
Companion quality puppies are currently $1500.00 with a deposit of $250.00 to hold your puppy of choice until you take it home.
Breeding and show quality puppies are occasionally available and range from $2500.00 to $2800.00 depending on the bloodline involved.
Contact us for contract information.
Animal Odyssey Private Pet Transport, based in South Carolina, will be our ground transport in the future. If you don't live near us in Idaho and are unable to travel here to pick up your puppy, we recommend that you contact Leigh Williams at 864-909-9693.

For years my friend, Bobbie Johnson, raised Cairn terriers as well as shorty Jack Russells, as High Meadow Terriers, and was located near us in north Idaho.
Bobbie passed away, unexpectedly, on March 20, 2020. Her email and website were hacked after her death. A scam artist has been conning people into sending money for puppies that do not exist. (All of her remaining breeding terriers were moved to Cairn Terrier Creek in Florida.)
My friend, Norma Rice, at www.marmascairnterriers.com/
Norma and her ex-husband, Marland, have been raising Cairns since 1971. Located in Albany, Oregon.

Our stud dog, Quin, is from their gorgeous dogs. Two of our ladies are daughters of Jason's stud, Griffin. All the remaining breeding stock of High Meadow's Cairn Terriers moved to Cairn Terrier Creek in spring 2022.
Keep in mind that you will need to research to be certain you aren't dealing with an indiscriminate breeder with inbred pups or parents without health checks, but you can find purebred puppies by visiting the AKC Marketplace at: Cairn Terrier Puppies For Sale - AKC PuppyFinder
NEVER PURCHASE A PUPPY ON FACEBOOK, MESSENGER, OR BY TEXT MESSAGE!
To avoid being scammed by a fake or hacked website, plan to talk to the breeder on the phone, or better yet, meet in person!
