Our Farm Family

Owners James Meinecke and Rebecca McWilliams live at the Lewis Farm in Concord, with our three children and five Cairns. 


 Our commitment is to ensure that our cairn terriers puppies are healthy, and that the breed remains an option for families to love for generations to come. We are located in Concord, NH - approximately 90 minutes north of Boston Logan Airport. We are a small breeder family, and all our dogs are part of our household. We are responsible Cairn Terrier Breeders and we offer Cairn Terrier Puppies to screened households.

Our Cairn Terriers

 Our current dogs are Bruns Minerva Mac Cloud (Minnie), Faehallow Maximus Decimus McWilliams (Max), Faehallow Midnight Skye McWilliams (Skye), McWilliams Lucky Copper Penelope (Penny), and McWilliams Ruby Rose (Ruby). Max is actively pursuing his AKC Conformation Championship. Skye is learning from Max and just starting out at AKC shows. Minnie got her first Major at a show in Spring 2024, and is a very good momma to her summer litter. Penny and Ruby are doing obedience training. If you are serious about adopting a new family member, Contact Us below to set up an interview and get on our list.

For the love of a dog

We fell in love with Liberty Belle, our first Cairn Terrier, and expected to spend much more time on this earth together than we did. Libby passed away due to health complications far too early at the age of 7. Because of Libby, we are dedicated to responsible breeding to ensure that all our dogs are healthy and live full lives. We do health checks and use Embark DNA health tests on all of our dogs prior to planning a litter.


We believe that Cairn Terriers are great family dogs, stubborn and loyal, smart and energetic in a small package - with an excellent prey drive for keeping our family farm and compost operation free of vermin. 

 
We are a safe haven for the lifetime of your pet. If you are ever unable to care for a dog from our kennel, we will take any of our dogs back and work to find a suitable new home.  

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Best known as Toto in the Wizard of Oz, the Cairn Terrier is more than just a cute face. These dogs were bred in Scotland to hunt, chase down, and rid farms of vermin. They're tough and smart, with a fearless never-say-die attitude. Your Cairn terrier puppy will love being with family and will thrive on lots of affection, exercise and chances to explore. The same traits that make the Cairn Terrier such a good working dog can make your puppy independent-minded, too, so obedience training and positive reinforcement will help your new dog be an ideal family companion. 


We require a deposit of half the purchase price to reserve a puppy, and final payment is due at time of pickup. All our pet adoptions are $4,000. Contact us to schedule an interview and get the process started. We provide health check, deworming, and AKC papers for all puppies. Our adults are each Embark DNA tested to ensure healthy genetics before breeding. We cannot guarantee a puppy's gender or color as we have very few litters per year, and our dogs will grow into their true coats at about 12-18 months old. 


We do not ship our puppies. Potential parents must do an interview, complete an application, and sign a contract before planning a trip to meet us to adopt their new puppy at our farm in Concord, NH. We are approximately 90 minutes away from Boston when traffic is light.
