The Process: I have very limited litters so to avoid disappointment it is best to contact me for an application as soon as you decide to move forward. Applications will be reviewed and we will talk on the phone about your expectations for your cairn puppy. EMAIL me for an application and additional information.
Once your application is approved and we have spoken you will be kept updated on how breedings and litters are coming along.
Once a litter is born and has reached the age of 10 days I will notify all applicants that I am opening deposits to hold a pup for you. Pick position (who gets first pick at the puppies) is determined by the order of deposit arrival. Folks are allowed to pick their own puppies - I think pups and people should have an equal say in the process.
Pups will be weaned, microchipped, wormed, given a coccidia and giardia preventative and given their first vaccinations and are ready to leave between 7 and 8 weeks of age. In my experience holding puppies longer than this retards housetraining and bonding with new owners. Pups which are shipped by air cargo must be 8 weeks of age.

My Guarantee
My goal is to produce the best, soundest and healthiest cairn terriers possible. For myself - and for you. I do not sell defective puppies. I back this up with one of the best guarantees out there. I can do this because I have been breeding long enough and have a stong enough knowledge of breeding principles to know that my chances of producing a dog with serious issues is as small as possible.
Of course life is life - people and pets alike are stricken with things like cancer and no one can protect against that. But for the issues which I do have some control over (those listed below) I offer a very generous guarantee.

Pricing
What makes a dog valuable? To me, its the value of their humor and companionship. And you can't put a price on that. A dog found on the side of the road can become priceless. An expensive champion dog can be a neurotic, horrible mess. But a breeder must put a price on the puppies they cannot keep. For me I want that price to be as low as possible so that health tested, well-bred dogs are available to anyone who wishes to support ethical breeders. My desire to produce fine dogs is an expensive hobby that does not pay for itself. Which brings me to why I have two prices for my puppies.
My base price for pups is $1800. This price reflects limited AKC registration, microchip (registered for life) age appropriate vaccines, worming, coccidia and giardia preventative and my health guarantee.
For those who wish full AKC registration I charge $2500. Any pup leaving DanBar for breeding purposes must meet strict health and conformation requirements - but primarily I want to discourage so called "backyard breeders" who think they can pick up a cairn, breed it and "make money". Unlike some breeders who refuse to help anyone interested in breeding, I am proud of my dogs and their health and attributes, and if someone is SERIOUS about breeding I would just as soon they use my dogs than some poorly bred dog. If you are interested in breeding let's talk.
