Cairnshire

Cairnshire is a cairn terrier breeder in Alpine, CA, serving Southern California near San Diego. The kennel follows American Kennel Club registration guidelines and conducts health screenings for hips, elbows, and eyes. Puppies are raised in the living areas of the home with daily socialization and supervised play sessions in a secure yard.

Lesley Rancourt nurtures the breed’s original working traits, resulting in pups with a curious, playful temperament balanced by a gentle nature. Litters average three to five puppies, and the dam’s attentive care gives each pup a healthy start. Adult dogs enjoy regular outings on nearby trails and are accustomed to family life with children and other household pets. She is active in regional terrier clubs and attends local events to stay connected with fellow enthusiasts. Each puppy leaves with health records, a sample of familiar food, and tips for continued social growth.
