Brad:
Congratulations! A lot of work- but i'm sure well worth it! Let's just hope that Stella doesn't follow in her Mom's pawprints!

[bradl]

Thanks! Fortunately Stella's not a show girl, so I'm safe from a repeat!

Ms. Echo at four weeks...

4 weeks wow what a great shot!
How great. Jamie just opened her eyes yesterday and she is three weeks old today.
Everyone tells me she will be up on all fours right after the eyes open but she is fat as a cow so we will see.

Great Shot of a beautiful Cairn!

Liz

And I loved your 10 easy steps!

Great PICS!!! Love the ten steps, giggled the whole reading. Just remeber it only took about 6 years, but the real fun...EARTHDOG; that bait man did not have to be around at all. She said she could do it herself. Great post.

[pkcrossley]

oh gosh, cairns make the greatest puppies of all. four weeks, and she already looks like an international sophisticate.

What gorgeous pics!!! Capture the Cairn expression to a tee!

What an impressive pack. They look every inch a typical Cairn farm working dog ready and willing to take up the hard, even harsh, life of Scottish crofting (small farming) They will never know how lucky they are to have the good life with you!
