The Cairn Terrier facing extinction
Seen some articles a few days ago saying that the Cairn Terrier and also the Scottish Terrier are falling in numbers of registered puppies. By more than half since 2013. The article mentioned this statistic was in the UK unsure if the same is true in the US. Shocking to me that there is a decline in breeding these beautiful smart little vermin hunters.I can't think of a world without this exceptional breed.

Re: The Cairn Terrier facing extinction
That's a sad thought..Around here (east coast USA) puppies of any breed have become so expensive that they are beyond most people's budgets. Even a cross breed puppy like a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle is going for $2500...even more for a female! Praying that terrier breeders rise up and make sure that Cairns and Scottish Terriers are around for eternity!Love, Deb and Emmie Sue

Re: The Cairn Terrier facing extinction
Yes very true Deb. The cost can be a factor. Popularity to certain breeds can also drive down demand for long established breeds. Now days it's the designer breeds that seem to be gaining popularity. I;m not a fan.

Re: The Cairn Terrier facing extinction
That's so sad. I can't imagine world without these sweet stubborn little guys
I had one for over 16 years and was a delightful little guy.
Hope the breeding improves.

Re: The Cairn Terrier facing extinction
I have been reading articles on this also Sandra but also pray that people do not start breeding them in numbers to sell on like the poor designer dogs and start a Cairn crave just because some people think they have a rare breed..till they get bored and another poor dog ends up in rescue for the wrong reason.....Thank goodness for Cairn rescue groups.Hope to be here tomorrow with update and pictures...the owners have come over so have been rather busy the last week...Much Love and Hugs to all Annie Bibs and Drew... xxx Smoochies from Bibsy to her Master Grady xxxxxxxxxxx

Re: The Cairn Terrier facing extinction
This is just awful. I can't imagine a world without these intelligent, devoted, loving terriers.
Side Note: Recently I was contacted by a domain broker asking me to sell our sister domain name www.terriertown.com to a university for their football team. Their offer was in the low 4 figures, but I passed even though that site has little activity now.

Re: The Cairn Terrier facing extinction
This is very upsetting!!! I love these wonderful intelligent terriers. I hope this is not true in the United States. Unfortunately that is what has happened to our cousins the Skye Terriers. They are wonderful Scottish dogs. You can hardy find them now.
