Cavern Kennels

Cavern Kennels breeds scottish terriers in Crossville, TN, on the Cumberland Plateau near Knoxville. It is a family-run operation led by Katie Carroll who has dedicated more than a decade to responsible scottish terrier breeding.

Breeding stock live alongside household pets to encourage well-balanced social skills. The kennel follows guidelines set by national scottish terrier clubs and offers annual health screenings and genetic testing recommended for the breed. Prospective owners receive guidance on grooming for the breed’s distinctive coat and ongoing support from the breeder.

Each litter is raised in a home environment with supervised playtime and early socialization to support confident, well-adjusted temperaments. The kennels occupy a rural property where dogs enjoy daily exercise, safe fencing and gentle handling by a small, attentive team. Many families appreciate the relaxed pace and transparent updates on growth milestones, finding reassurance in the kennel’s steady approach to raising healthy companions.
