We take our responsibilities as gatekeepers of the breed very seriously.  We  also value each person who purchases one of our dogs.  Therefore, we pledge to provide them with a healthy dog in mind and body.  To this end we hold as our responsibilities:

• Genetic testing on all breeding stock for any health problem that has a test available. 
   

•  A three year health guarantee on every dog we sell.  If a dog develops a life threatening condition within that time, we will replace the dog free of charge.
   

• A commitment to offer dogs of healthy,  sound mind and temperament.
   

• Extensive mentoring in grooming, feeding, and training for the life of the dog.

 Therefore, we prefer first time Cairn owners to buy from a breeder as geographically close to them as possible to facilitate this mentoring of breeder to new owner.
