Oh Brad! These pictures are just gorgeous. I can tell that I would have paid a mint and bought way too many pics in your place. The photographer did a wonderful job of capturing a beautiful pose for each one: Barley looks stately, Haggis' eyes are so soulful, ...etc, etc.

[bradl]

Heh - we DID buy too many. It was hard picking, except for poor Haggis - he really had a bad hair day and there wasn't much to choose from. We rationalized that since we've only done this once in ten years or so, amortized over the whole period it's not so bad.

Photos look great! It's nice to see something other than the normal conformation photos you see...

Be honest, did you two order 'wallet' size too?

[goforette]

So cool! I love them all four together! And they're all so perfect.... mine still have that puppy like look - I can't wait until they grow into their coats like yours.... so sweet

[Sarah]

Wow. Gorgeous photos! And gorgeous dogs! You should definitely be proud.

[kjwarnold]

Wow, Stella looks impeccably groomed! But the others look great, too -- kind of shows Cairns in all variations of their coats. Packy is a bit nude right now because I just stripped with to get ready to go to Florida next week. It's a lot easier to spot and keep away the fleas down there when he's stripped down.

Anyway, fantastic photos -- makes me want to get some done for Packrat!

What a beautiful family. Haggis' sweetness shines through!

[maggie]

Very nice!

In a word Beautiful

I thought for sure I posted to this! I must not have hit the "reply" button. I'll repeat, you have some of the best looking Cairns on this forum. I've been in love w/ little Stella since you posted her perfect looking pup picture. Those truly are beautiful photos.

P.S. I totally forgot to send you my envelope for a Cairn pin. Please reserve one for me. I will mail you an envelope tomorrow.

[Kramersmom]

Wow, I just came across this site today.

Brad,

The photos are amazing! All 4 are beautiful! But, Barley melted my heart. He is so darling. There is something about our little senior cairns that just warm my heart. Echo is adorable, all of them are.

I can only imagine how many photos were bought! There all so wonderful.

[Eliz222]

Beautiful pictures, Brad! I'd like to know the secret to getting all 4 dogs sitting at the same time!

Congratulations! A lot of work- but i'm sure well worth it! Let's just hope that Stella doesn't follow in her Mom's pawprints!
