Meet Our Exceptional Cairn Terriers

At Fae Hallow Kennel, we are dedicated to preserving and perfecting the Cairn Terrier breed. We invite you to explore our passion and learn what makes our Cairns truly special. We believe in fostering a deep understanding and appreciation for these wonderful dogs.

A Legacy of Quality and Health

Our Cairn Terriers are the result of meticulous selection, with individuals carefully chosen from top show homes across the globe. We prioritize type, health, and the quintessential Cairn personality. For years, my husband and I have been committed to enhancing breed diversity by bringing exceptional Cairns from other countries. Our farming backgrounds and scientific expertise instilled in us the critical importance of outcrossing—breeding with unrelated animals. We are proud that many of our Cairns are free from known DNA genetic markers, and we are actively working to eliminate carriers from our breeding stock, a goal we have had considerable success in achieving. While no genetic testing covers every possibility, our dedication to this effort ensures the health of our lines. We also meticulously breed to the established breed standard, a commitment that has led to the production of champions and partnerships with accomplished kennels.

Exemplary Health and Vibrant Personalities

The health and well-being of our Cairns are paramount. Every dog in our care undergoes comprehensive testing, including a 268-marker DNA kit, as well as thorough checks for eyes, patellas, and heart conditions. We believe that a dog's personality is as crucial as its physical health, and we strive to maintain the breed standard in every aspect. Our Cairns are known for their spirited temperaments, often excelling in activities such as hunting, trick training, and nose work, truly embodying the intelligence and drive characteristic of the breed.

Achievements and Commitment

As evident in the photographs, our Cairn Terriers consistently represent the breed with distinction, earning numerous awards and AKC titles. We approach every aspect of our kennel with seriousness and dedication, aiming to provide both show and pet homes with the finest Cairn Terriers possible. Our commitment extends beyond breeding; we are passionate about furthering the legacy of this remarkable breed.
