Thistledown Kennels (Cairn Terriers)

I show and raise cairn terriers for myself first then for pet. Health guarantee, AKC papers, 5 way I raise and show cairn terriers from my home.
(33)

Most of my puppies go to pet homes that have had cairn terriers most of their lives and are replacing their long loved Cairn that have passed away. Some go to show homes. I do not sell to anyone and everyone that calls, I do screen and care where my puppies go. Cairn terriers are long lived and hearty, that does not mean they do not have some issues at times, but it is very rare. With corky person

alities and a variety of colors, this little dog, that acts like they are a big dog, will truly be a delight to almost any home. Considered non-shedding (they do shed some, but so little I can't tell) and hypoallergenic. I feed holistic dog food and feel they do the best on a more natural diet. I spoil my dogs and have been known to buy $100 (or more) in toys at a time... love my dogs. If you are interested in knowing more about me and my cairns please call me. Expect about an hour call. I'm old school and find texting and emails are time consuming and not a way to get to know me or for myself, to get to know you. Remember these are babies, not something to be tossed aside or ordered by mail, they are family members. If you enjoy talking cairns, I sure do! The way I look at it if you are to shy to call, then you’re to shy for a terrier. Heads up though, if you’re looking for just a pet and not a family member, than please find one elsewhere. I’m only looking to place pups for those that view their cairns as part of their family. I feel these guys are special, that’s why I only raise cairns. I hope you are as fanatic about them as I am. So fanatic I spend $6,000 or more to go get most of what I have from the best show homes in Europe. They have been carefully bred with health, confirmation, and personality as key elements. All my puppies go and to fantastic, wonderful homes and I will continue to produce amazing puppies that are healthy, smart and looking like a cairn. If you are interested in one of these amazing puppies feel free to call me. If I don't answer, leave a message, I will return it as soon as I can. Make sure you talked to all involved first. For general information read the very first post on this page. Hope to hear from you soon! Best regards

I want to welcome our oops litter between Trixie and Gus. Sometimes when you have a young female, you’re not sure when they will come into heat. Well that was the case with Trixie. We pulled her away once we knew, but evidently Gus got her that first day. Early this morning Trixie had 3 girls and 3 boys. Most are wheaton with a few red brindle. None are spoken for. I wasn’t sure how things would go, but all are healthy and Trixie is kicking in being a wonderful mom. All is well. These little munchkins will be ready to go December 21st!

Yes it’s ok to call me today, if you want into this litter. Girls go fast! You pick out in the order in which I receive deposits the day of pickup. The non refundable deposit is $500. The rest is due in cash upon pickup, which is $2500. That includes akc papers, dewormings, first set of shots and a one year health guarantee.

Jamie is now pending pickup. He will be going to his new home next weekend! So excited for him. Going to a home who has a three year old cairn spayed female, who competes in akc events. So excited Jamie is landing so well. He will be missed, but makes me fill so happy he’s going where he is going to compete and have a buddy.

I’ve had 6 people saying they are interested but then cancel the last minute . PLEASE do not get ahold of me unless you’re serious. Thank you have a blessed day

This is Jamie, as much as a heart throb as his namesake Jamie Frazier on outlander! A real stud muffin for sure. He loves to love, full of puppy energy but can settle. Almost housebroken and is crate trained and puppy play pen trained. Gets along with other dogs. Loves people! Not going to be much over 15 lbs. more on the smaller size. Was holding him back and is indeed showable but would make a great pet. I’m adopting him out because I have another pup coming from Germany. Last pup I will be getting from overseas, as laws are changing as of august 1st. So unfortunately Jamie needs to find his new home. He’s up to date on his vaccines. Born 2-15-24. One year health guarantee and akc papers. His grandfather has 24 titles in Europe and from the most famous kennel for cairns, so very nice breeding! Healthy. If you’re interested call me at 815-494-5964. Adoption fee is $3500. Have a blessed day!
