NaKoa Cairns

No puppies available at this time. However we have two breedings planned so please contact us if you would like to be on our notification list.
At Nakoa Cairns, we breed a litter only occasionally as it is with the intent of improving upon the previous generation, and we plan to keep a puppy. 
 
Please contact us if you would like to learn more about living with a cairn. A cairn is a long lived dog and thus a big commitment, and the terrier personality is not for every owner, but of course for others life is not complete without a cairn! Cairn.  It is also important to consider carefully your living situation. Cairns can be wonderful apartment/condominium or city dogs. However, think carefully if you do not own your own home or condominium as finding pet-friendly rentals in Hawaii can be extremely difficult. This issue has left many dogs in Hawaii homeless. Cairns have a very strong prey drive and so need to be exercised on leash and thus an owner must be completely commited to on-leash exercise except in safe, secure fenced areas. Homes with fenced yards are preferred. The joy of a cairn is that they view every day as a reason to celebrate and are happy to join in any activities with you. They have a zest for living and yet, are trainable (for terriers). They have earned the title "the best little pal in the world". See our links page for more information about cairn terriers.

Occasionally, we become aware of cairns needing a home and have taken in cairns as rescue or place a retiree from our kennel, contact us if you would like to be on our notification list for an older dog or rescue.
