Cairn Terrier Relief Fund

I am appalled at the number of Staffordshire Bull Terriers that fill the rescue centres. In the right hands they have lovely natures, but so many were owned by individuals who have no idea how to train a dog, all they want is a tough image for themselves. The trend is now changing to the Husky-type breeds, which need firm handling and a lot of grooming, so I fear that the novelty will wear off pretty quickly for some owners.

Cairn terriers are such lovely dogs, full of character, and I am certain that Andie fell on his feet when you chose him Frank! Or did he choose you when you saw the whole litter?

I think Andie really chose us.
He was the first one to get up to look at us.
I think all of the litter went to good homes as I do get the occasional update on all of them through the breeder.
The slightly sad thing was none of them went to local homes. I think Andie is the closest to Luton.
Dad and myself set off from home to get him at 7am and we were the first ones there.
The breeder told us all of the litter went by the Sunday afternoon. She said that every one of the customer's dogs had died less than a week before so the first job of all of them was to get the new owners out of the grief.
