Cairn Terriers are known for their lively intelligence, independent spirit, and joyful companionship — traits that Karen embraces and nurtures through careful, selective breeding and in-home socialization. Tarahill produces Canadian Kennel Club (CKC)– registered puppies from parents selected for temperament, structure, and versatile performance. Karen follows the Puppy Culture™ model, ensuring that youngsters are raised with early development foundations that build resilience, confidence, and readiness for life with their new families.
Each Tarahill Cairn Terrier lives as a valued member of the family and is involved in a variety of activities beyond the home, including dog sports, performance events, and conformation showing. Karen’s own dogs have earned titles in multiple disciplines, reflecting both quality breeding and a commitment to providing her dogs with engaging, enriched lives.
Tarahill produces occasional, well-planned litters, ensuring that each puppy receives individual attention and is placed into a carefully screened, qualified home. Prospective owners are encouraged to review the program’s puppy rearing philosophy and complete a questionnaire to begin the placement process.
With a focus on responsible practices, lifetime support for puppy families, and a dedication to the well-being of the Cairn Terrier breed, Tarahill Cairn Terriers exemplifies integrity, passion, and ethical stewardship in Canadian dog breeding.
