Never breed from a second generation fault.Trimming of feet in itself is an art seldom mastered. Yet neat feet do more to set off a dog than any other single factor. Much the same is true of tails and ears.It is an absolute fallacy to keep bitches for brood purposes that are not good enough to show.The greatest of faults I should say, is to be conscious of none.The breed is outgoing and lovable, it is active and above all it is a sturdy dog brought up in the Highlands where resistance to weather, disease and hardships of all kinds were absolute necessities.[…] the Cairn is not a heavily trimmed breed and exaggerated trimming to make the dog appear "molded" should never be used.No animal is well bred unless it is good in itself.In general, all puppies should have the top coat removed at about four to six months. The softer puppy coat will fall out eventually and it is better to strip it off and then begin to condition the new coat with daily brushing and/or gloving.The only true measuring stick of your breeding progress and success is by comparison of the best you have with the best of other breeders.
