Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Emeraldcity carefully plans each litter & focuses on quality. Puppies are well-socialised in an urban home environment & we individually assess each pup's temperament to ensure they go to the right owners. They are also crate-trained and paper-trained before joining their new families. You are welcome to participate…
Health
All pups are Liver Shunt (PSS) tested - in line with the breed club recommendations for Cairn Terriers. Liver Shunt is rare in the breed, but only by continuing to test our cairns will it continue to be so. All of our adults and puppies are tested, for about the last decade now since the testing protocol was…
Home environment
All pups are born and grow up in our home. I have a heated whelping box in our guest room, and sleep next to it for the first week. We welcome puppy visitors once the pups are born (with certain safety precautions). The pups are handled everyday, groomed every week, and when they're old enough they go outside during…

Genetic TestVon Willebrand’s Disease (VWD/vWD) is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a lack of a specific clotting factor. There are three forms of the disease, types 1, 2 & 3. A DNA test is available for each type of VWD to identify whether a breeding dog is a carrier or might be affected. The severity of VWD varies widely between breeds and individuals, ranging from life threatening, through to having no impact on clotting ability.

Why we got involved in breeding
I read "Greyfriar's Bobby" as a child, and fell in love with the rugged, scruffy little terrier on the cover of the book. I showed Silky Terriers and then Cairns, and decided to start contributing to the Cairn Terrier breed through my own breeding program. I thought the Cairns were a breed really suited to living…
