Past & Present
I am proud of the achievements
of all my dogs I have bred and/or owned. Cairns are very versatile
terriers, intelligent, athletic and quick to learn. They can excel
in conformations, obedience, flyball, agility, tracking and earth
dog. Training sessions are the key, best kept short and always
ending on a happy note. Owners need to have a sense of humour as
Cairns can decide at anytime they know best, ending the lesson or
completely changing what you have taught them.
The most important achievement is that all Cairns are top dogs in
their own homes and owners' hearts!

Checkers
Best Treblemaker CGN, FMX, SADC, NAC, VMJDC, VAADC
born 2000
(Ch. Greatscot's Whipstocker X Ch. Regina Pacis Harmony Echo)
Gino is owned and trained by Karen Rust. She trains with KAOS
Dogsports Inc. in Regina, Sask.
"Gino loves balls, toys, running, jumping and treats so he is a joy
to partner with in agility and flyball. He responds very well to
positive reinforcement and has a big smile on his face whether
tearing down a flyball lane or around an agility course.
2006 was a year of significant accomplishment for Gino. He
achieved the 10,000 point level in flyball and earned the title
Flyball Master Excellent (FMX). He is now #2 in the breed ranking
and only the fourth cairn terrier in North America to achieve this
title in NAFA history. Gino also had an outstanding year in
agility, achieving 11 qualifying runs in AAC trials. He earned the
Advanced Agility Dog of Canada (VAADC) and the Masters Jumpers Dog
of Canada (VMJDC) titles in 2006. When not competing, Gino spends
his time patrolling the yard. He has successfully chased away every
plane that flies overhead (we live near the airport) and every big
truck that dares to drive by. Gino also loves nothing more than a
good nap (Mom's lap is best) and puts himself to bed promptly at
10:00 p.m. every night."

Checkers
Forfar's Bridie CD, CDX
1988- 2005

Bridie was owned and trained by Dennis and Pat Reid. She was #1
Obedience Cairn in 1990 and 1992. Also #10 Terrier in Obedience in
1992. Dennis had previously trialed Golden Retrievers and soon found
that Cairns required a different approach to training. Once they
were a team, high scores followed.
