We are a family run kennel that loves animals! We raise Cairn Terriers and West
Highland White Terriers. We breed for temperament, quality, and the conformity of the
breed. We do not show our dogs, but stay as close as possible to the breed standard.
Our puppies are handled and loved from the day they are born until they are ready to be
adopted. Our goal is to raise happy, healthy, playful puppies that will be your friend
forever. We enjoy these breeds and the satisfaction that we get from knowing that we
can raise healthy puppies and bring joy into peoples lives. All of our puppies get the
best nutrition and veterinary care. They will have their first shots, be de-wormed, and
vet-checked. All of our puppies have 5 vaccinations when they leave our kennel.
Bordetella, NeoPar(2 vaccinations), and Intervet Brand Progard 6 (2 vaccinations)
(Canine distemper, Adenovirus Type 2, Parainfluenza, Parvo Modified Live, Coronavirus
killed). These vaccinations are administered by us (the breeder). The pups will have
been vet-checked once before they leave us. This usually occurs when the puppies are
6-7 weeks old. Our puppies are registered.
All of our puppies are born and raised at our kennel. All of our puppies are sold directly
from our kennel to individual families. We do not sell puppies to brokers, wholesalers,
dealers, or petstores. We do not breed dogs that are related. We keep the puppies
until they are 9 weeks old. You can visit to see the parents if you like or see the pictures
on our parents pages. We require appointments for visiting our kennel, let us know
when you want to come and we will schedule a visit. Our puppies are born in our
kennel, we have a separate building for whelping only. After the puppies have had their
first 3 shots we have playpens in the house and yard that the puppies spend time
playing, socializing, and exercising in. Our adult breeding dogs are also in a kennel,
they have inside and outside runs, it is heated and has air circulation fans, they always
have toys to play with and each other. We feed our puppies Eukanuba Small Breed
Puppy Formula, it is available to them all the time and they also have fresh, cold water
available all the time. Our breeding dogs are fed Iams Mini-chunks. We clean and
sanitize our kennel on a daily basis.
We do not allow anybody inside our kennel, because we do not want to contaminate it
and/or bring in diseases. Our vet visits our kennel throughout the year. Our kennel is
also inspected throughout the year by the Pennsylvania state dog wardens. Our kennel
has also been inspected by AKC (American Kennel Club) and we are in compliance
with all of the AKC's rules and regulations. If this does not answer all your questions,
let us know what else you would like to know about us and our breeding program. We
have no known health problems with our breeding dogs.

As a professional dog breeder, we are often asked the question "Are you a Puppy Mill"?
No we are not a puppy mill, we are a breeder. We breed only 2 breeds of dogs, Cairn
Terriers and West Highland White Terriers. Then the next question asked is "How
Many Litters Do You Have a Year"? That is a hard question to answer, our dogs are on
a breeding schedule based on the individual dog. How often we choose to breed a
dog depends on size, health, and temperament. We have puppies available every
month/every other month because families are looking to buy a puppy at different times
of the year, if we don't have puppies available, then they go somewhere else. We do
run our kennel as a business, it is our livelihood. We both love animals and have the
most respect for them. Usually next we are asked "Are Your Dogs In A Kennel"? Yes
they are. Where else would they be? It is their home, den, safe place. It is heated and
cooled, cleaned/santized on a daily basis. Then comes "How Many Dogs Do You
Have"? We have 70 dogs, those include puppies/young adults/breeders/pets. We only
raise/buy dogs that are healthy, social, and conform to the breed standard. "Do You
Allow Visitors"? Yes (by appointment), we are proud of our puppies / dogs / kennel /
breeding program. We have nothing to hide.
For those of you who read this and still have your doubts, this is what we want to ask
you. Do you know us? Have you ever been to our kennel or seen our dogs? Do you
know how hard we work to care for our dogs and how much money we spend to
maintain them and our kennel? Do you know how many times we get out of bed in the
middle of night to check on a new mom and feed new babies? Some times an entire
day/night is spent in the kennel caring for mom and newborns. Do you know how many
trips we make to our vet or how many trips he makes here so we can provide medical
care? Do you know that our dogs and kennel are inspected throughout the year by our
vet, AKC and the PA Dog Wardens? Do you know that we are licensed by the PA
Department of Agriculture? Don't prejudge us or our kennel. We are who you should
buy your puppy from. We are professionals.
"A Breeder is one who thrists for knowledge and never really knows it all and doesn't
pretend he does...One who wrestles with many decisions...A Breeder is one who
sacrifices personal interests, finances, time, fancy furniture...He gives up dreams of a
long, luxurious vacation...Besides, who would watch/care for the dogs while he was
gone...He goes without sleep in hours spent planning, cleaning, watching anxiously
over the birth process and afterwards, over every little sneeze, wiggle, or cry...He skips
parties because that litter is due or the babies have to be fed...His lap is a marvelous
place where generations of happy, healthy and loved babies have snoozed...And still
do...His hands are strong and firm, but ever so gentle and sensitive to the thrusts of a
puppy's wet nose...His shoulders are stooped and often heaped with abuse from
unkind words of those who don't understand, but wide enough to support the weight of
a thousand "Thank You's" from happy new families...His arms are always able to weild
a mop, support an armful of puppies or lend a helping hand to a newcomer...but can't
hold grudges or hold onto unpleasant ridicule...His ears are wondrous things,
sometimes red(from being talked about) or strangley shaped (from being pressed
against a phone receiver,) yet always fine-tuned to the whimper of a puppy or an
oncoming storm...His eyes may be blurred from research and paperwork, but they are
ever so keen to what a healthy, happy puppy looks and acts like...His brain is
sometimes foggy on faces, but can recall how many were in a litter four years ago that
prodeced a certain puppy...it's so full of knowledge that sometimes it blows a fuse: it
catalogues thousands of colors, sizes, and perfect temperaments...His heart is
sometimes broken but it beats strongly with hope everlasting...and it is always in the
right place!"
