 
Welcome to FurClan Kennels!
Furclan is located in a wooded park
like setting in Damascus Oregon. We have 5 acres, a pond with ducks for
entertaining the Cairns, and lots of squirrels to chase. The property is
sectioned off into 3 large fenced yards, a puppy house and their own
yard.
Now a Little About Me
One of the most
wonderful things about my Cairns is they are all part of the family. My
Cairns are a constant source of entertainment and joy. I wouldn't trade them
for the world!
My first
introduction to Cairns was in 1980. The love affair with Cairns began when
Wufus became our newest family member. He soon had our previously large dog
only family, retrained to Cairn way of thinking. This amusement led to the
second of what has become a long line of Cairns. Scarlet O'Hara was a
retired show dog, and never let me forget her celebrity status. 1992 was a
sad year when the last of my original Cairns died of old age.
By 1993, with the
kids in college and the Cairns gone, I decided to never again be without a
Cairn. I became dedicated to the breed, wanting to preserve the original
traits of Cairns that made them a long loved breed. From the beginning my
breeding program has been based on temperament, health, and of course,
confirmation.
I am an avid
student of Cairn history, breeding and health. My dogs are bred with
integrity, striving for the best dog possible. I guarantee my puppies to be
healthy when they leave my home.
I've worked
toward the testing for the Cairn anomalies to eventually eliminate
the genetically related health problems Cairns can be prone to. In the last 10
years hereditary problems have been eliminated through the efforts of Cairn
Breeders. Through tests, we now have genetic markers that help with
improving, without compromising the Cairn breed.
