On Aug. 18 I paid a visit to Dog Heaven for a few hours, the grand opening of the Purina Events Center, dedicated to dog events, at Purina Farms outside St. Louis. Getting to hang out and hear stories from some of the most historic dog owners, breeders, handlers and rescuers was amazing. But getting to hold, pet and hang with six of the greatest Westminster champions and be the first to

On the second day of our annual specialty, it was hard to imagine the weather could be any nicer than the previous day, the dogs any more beautiful or an event more enjoyable. But once again we had ideal weather, a strong and deep entry of Cairn Terriers, all enjoyed as sailboats glided by, pelicans dove into the water and we enjoyed the wonderful oceanfront park setting in Long Beach,

A fabulous first day at the Cairn Terrier Club of Southern California's annual Specialty show. There may be no more scenic venue in the country than the oceanfront park at Long Beach, California, near the historic Queen Mary liner, where many of the visitors stayed. Beautiful dogs, a magnificent setting, ideal 72 degree weather, sunshine and lots of fun and comradery. Topped off by our annual

Mary Skavinski adopted Keith, one of six Cairn Terriers that the CTCSC rescued in September, affectionately known as the 6-pack. She had him barely two weeks when the unthinkable happened: He broke out of his collar and ran away. Losing a dog is a traumatic experience any time. But when that dog has already been through a great deal of torment, and is new to its forever home neighborhood, it

Watching the news, a family in Wales saw a story saying the oldest dog in the world had died at the age of 20. Then they looked down at their dog and realized she was 21! The O'Brian family rang up Guinness World Records and soon it'll be official: the world's oldest dog is a Cairn Terrier mix named Gracie. The family adopted Gracie when she was 16, turned in to a shelter because her longtime
