Sheila and her three pups. Two girls and one boy. Two days old.
Since they were born on Valentine's Day, we have named them Candy, Hearts, and Flowers.
🍬 💕 💐

These boys are ten weeks old today.
Toby, formerly known as Frankincense, will be going home next week.
Gold went home this afternoon.
And yes, my husband had to hold these boys still for photos. These guys are ALL terrier and very active. As they should be! ❤

Three weeks old. Just like that, they have begun transforming into little dogs. They are beginning to play, and they are very talkative when they want mama!

16/02/2024

We had a very busy Valentine's Day evening.
While Sheila was whelping, my daughter and I rotated comforting her and scooting out to do barn chores. While my daughter was feeding the sheep, she found newborn twin lambs cold and alone. She rushed them inside for care. One couldn't be saved, but the second lamb wound up inside my shirt to warm up.
Yes, I can multitask!
Sheila is doing fantastic with her three red or wheaten pups.
The new lamb revived very well and is back with his own mother in a small stall with a nice heat lamp.
Overall a lovely Valentine's Day! 🥰

Two weeks old! Most have their eyes open, and ALL are very actively moving around the creche.
We do have boys available. Contact the website, please.

What do the names mean in the Scottish vernacular???
Swanky - swaggering fellows
Cantie - excess of good spirits
Crouse - cocksure or jaunty
Brattle - scurrying sounds
Jauk - dawdle, dealing in trifles
Donsie - unlucky or testy
Sonsie - buxom girl

All will have wonderful temperaments and ideal as home companions.
Please contact our website to be added to the waiting list!

Such a delightful visit with Dr. Kimberly Kramer at VCA North Idaho Animal Hospital. All three of Vixen's precious puppies had very thorough exams and received their initial vaccinations.
I have been concerned about Miss Myrrh, thinking she might have a hernia. Dr. Kramer consulted with Dr. Talitha Neher and Dr. Jolee Stegemoller regarding my concerns. All three veterinarians agreed that there is nothing wrong with Myrrh. She merely has a little extra fat padding to her abdomen. Chonky, like her mama! 🤣

Minnie's lovely litter of seven, born today, January 24, 2024.
Boy, oh boy, oh boy! Lobsided litter of six boys and one girl.
All light shades of brindle, I think...

BRUNS CAIRN Terriers, thought you might like to see.

Yeah, no.

13/01/2024

Our morning low temperature was -10°F and our high today -0.8°F.
Tonight we are expecting -20°F or colder. It is already down to -7°F as of 4:00 pm.
All our dogs are inside our home, warm & cozy, with brief outside potty times.
Our other livestock & poultry have been more challenging, as despite heat lamps & water heaters, we are doing barn checks every four hours around the clock. All are well; happily munching their feed.
Wherever you are this winter, stay safe and warm.

Life brings changes!
As of January 2024, we will be retiring a few adult dogs from our breeding program over the next year.
These are NOT kennel dogs. These are house pets. They are vetted, housetrained, and well-adjusted socialized lovebugs.
They will not be freebies, either, as we will be paying for spay/neuter before placements.
To be considered, you MUST contact me thru our website, at: https://rdrrcairns.weebly.com/contact.html
and be specific about your interest in an adult dog.

Yes, we do screen prospective families. Yes, there is usually a waiting list. See our website for additional information.
Due to the current rules on Facebook regarding animal sales, PLEASE go to my website and contact me through the email link on the contact page there.

True story.

Puppy boy Liam is learning to love snuggles on the couch, just like the big dogs.
He is also learning to leave the big dogs ALONE when they are sleeping.
Valuable life skills for a small dog!
(Liam in my arms, Bonny at my side, and taking the rest of the couch, Sam Sheepdog, our Great Pyrenees guardian girl.)
