The Cairn Terrier is generally a robust and healthy breed, but dogs, like humans, do inevitably sometimes suffer from ill health. 

What the Health Group does:

The Cairn Terrier Health Group (CTHG) monitors the wellbeing of the breed by collecting and storing information on any diagnosed cases that occur throughout the full life of Cairn Terriers in the UK. 

This is the only way to try and ensure the future health of our wonderful breed. 

What can you do to help us:

 It is therefore very important that owners report any health issues to our data collection. 

We would also appreciate if you could forward any veterinary reports regarding any conditions that your dog has together with the pedigree to our co-ordinator.

What we can do to help you:

Advice from the CTHG is always at hand, either via email or by telephone, but don’t forget to also contact the breeder of your Cairn – he or she will no doubt want to be informed and offer support. 

The Best Little Pal:

The Cairn Terrier Health Group wishes you many Happy and Healthy years with your new friend and please don’t forget to keep us informed!
