I got my Cairn five months ago from a reputable breeder in Stockton, MO. Since I live in CA, I was a little worried about not being able to actually see (other than photos) the puppy I was buying. The breeders were wonderful to work with and I could not be happier with my puppy. Believe it or not, this particular breeder had four pups that were going to the West Coast and because the weather in MO was too cold to fly them out, her husband delivered the CA pups door to door. I found them on the Internet, but contacted the AKC and local humane societies in that area to make sure there had been no unfavorable history before contacting them. The pup that came to me is more than I could have hoped for. He is highly intelligent, affectionate and just subborn enough to make him a true Cairn. I could not be happier! :thumbsup:

Hyacinth,

I don't know where you are from but I can tell you that in the Colorado area, pet cairn puppies from reputable cairn breeders go for about $1000.00. Hope this helps.

I'm in N. Florida and for a pet quality cairn from a reputable breeder, expect to pay $700 for a female.

I am in CT and a reputable breeder will cost you $1200. My rescue Cairn was originally purchased from a pet store for $800 (and she is from a puppy mill).

I'm now in the same boat looking for a breeder in the New England area but I am patient and doing my homework. I want to get another Cairn (yes, that will make 3) but I find alot of the people I talk to want to know about ME. Where do I live, my yard, my other pets and I respect that. Makes me feel like they care more about the dogs than the almighty dollar! I have pics of my home, yard, 2 girls and would invite any of the breeders to my residence if they needed to feel comfortable about the sale.

My problem is that many of the breeders I'm looking into are not in my area and shipping is an option. I just don't know how that whole scenerio goes when choosing a pup that you haven't been able to "meet". Can one rely on a breeder to hand-pick a pup for you, decide on one from only a picture? It gets complicated :confused:

Oh, I think I was just going to do something I'm not supposed to do. Not name a breeder, I know that...
