We're Moving Into our New Home!

We're moving! We're excited to move into our new home next week. For those who have purchased puppies, we want to ensure that we maintain contact long term. Please stay tuned to the website for phone and email changes. I have set up a new email, but will currently keep my cell phone and will post a new phone number if we get a land line set up. If you need a new address, please email us and we'll give you direct contact information. My new email is: RickysPrincess@gmail.com

My NP program starts at the end of August. We're going to be busy finishing the house and getting settled before then. The dogs will have a temporary play yard until we build our "guest house" with the dog room off the back side of it. Keep in touch!

thank you!

Semi-Retired

We changed our plans slightly when we came across an excellent opportunity for a champion pedigree male that I fell in love with. We welcome Brody to our family! He has the same compact confirmation, small ear set, short tail, and adorable traits that remind me of Bailie and Maggie (everyone's favorites). I have kept Bailie & Hailie and will eventually retire Bentley to a forever home. I just couldn't give up everything completely but had to cut back to allow time for school. The rest of the dogs all went to my breeder friends so I'm relieved that we've preserved the lines for the future. I'm hoping to start my MSN this fall but we'll see how things fall into place. We're still planning the August litters by hopefully both Bailie & Hailie depending on how nature accommodates us. I still enjoy hearing from you, so keep in touch!

Retiring from Breeding

I'm sorry to report that I'm temporarily retiring from breeding. I will fulfill the last litters this summer and I'm hoping to place the rest of the dogs either in quality breeder-friend homes or pet homes. If anyone would be interested in fostering one of our dogs, please let me know. This would mean adopting one of the dogs but keeping them intact so we may have the option to breed them in the future. I would like to retain some of my lines so this may be an option for some of the girls. Of course the home would agree to keep them safe and allow me to breed them in the future, and retain the puppies to restart a breeding program. I would whelp out and assist in all of the puppy process, so it would need to be someone in IL or our surrounding area. If you would like to be considered, just email me at crookedcreekcairns@verizon.net

I will maintain my website in order to stay in contact with previous puppy customers. I will still be available for support and education for both our Cairn family and the public. I'm kind of sad and can't believe I'm doing this, but I have to make time to continue my education and a new career. If things go well, the long term goal is to be able to work as I want for much more pay and still have time to commit to my family and hobbies. I think it'll be really rewarding and exciting.

I extend a big thank you for all the support and friendship we've developed over the years. I look forward to rekindling my role as a breeder in the near future. THANK YOU!!!
