hiya,
A guy who lives near me has a couple of Cairns Mother and Daughter
the pair are really people friendly and love kids they are usually in the
school queue when I go for my grandkids and they get really excited as
the kids are coming out of class, but they also “work” and are also able
to keep the dog owners friend well supplied with rabbits for feeding his
birds of prey which he exhibits at shows, Cairns have a good lifespan too
and very hardy not needing much in the way of vetting only the annual
jabs seems to be all they ever need, getting carried away a bit here Dave
you being an expert on the breed, and me being quite knowledgeable on
the Jack Russell but both breeds being very similar in temperament and
both rarely being unwell and needing the expensive vet’s services.
thanks harry, long retired.
Hmm, dunno about that Harry
We’ve got a little Cairn and she’s just cost us a fortune in vets bills.
Luckily we’ve got medical insurance on her, otherwise she’d be gone.
The hairy little madam only got that type of anaemia which normally kills dogs, but we got her into the vets quick. 2 weeks vets BnB with a drip and a bed in a wire cage costs what a good few nights in Glen Eagles hotel would cost us. She also had “Westie Jaw” when she was a pup and she would suffer from excema if we didn’t bath her every week. Cairns are prone to both of those apparently.
She’s over that anaemia thing now, but it’s only in remission, so she needs regular blood tests, 2 or 3 a year. Ours is 8 now and jumping out of her skin with health, you’d never know she was at deaths door a year ago. She’s people and cat friendly, but will not tolerate any cheek from any other dog. She’ll take on anything and give them a right telling off, Dobermans(men?), Alsatians, staffies, anything.
She’s actually scared, but she wont run away, she’ll go for gold instead.
We had an enormous black lab before the cairn. As strong as an ox and as soft as they come. But he showed several times that he would fight to protect us if need be.

The first Cairn we had supposedly had eczema Simon.Took him to numerous vets until we were told about a vet that specialised in dogs.He said it wasn’t eczema,it is a skin condition common in Westie’s and some Cairn’s.Put him on a course of steroids and cleared it up in no time.
We have had 3 Cairn’s over the years and they have all had the same condition in warm weather,got them put on the same tablets,problem cleared up. Cairn’s are super little dogs.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
The missus want’s a Westie or a Shi Tzu (spelling) for Chrimbo so will have to start saving up.

Oh ours is a super little dog, trouble is she thinks she’s enormous 
We don’t dare put her on another course of drugs. She’s got Haemolytic Anaemia now, which is in remission after a long, expensive fight, with enormous doses of steroids and cortisones for a dog her size. We all think it was triggered by a short course of quite normal, veterinary drugs for a normal minor illness she caught. Now she’ll just have to fight minor ailments on her own. She was lucky to survive at all, just happened to be in the right place at the right time. She’ll be on regular blood tests for the rest of her life though, to catch it early if it relapses.
She gets a weekly bath with medicated shampoo, that keeps her skin in reasonable condition. She gets antihistamines in late summer, when it always flares up. We can live with that, so she’ll just have too

hiya,
The price of the chips won’t bother our Norm, Ladbrokes will
more than cover his expenses for the whole trip, Dave I just
hope he isn’t digging too deeply into the cruise fund, I bet he
thinks we’ve forgotton all about it but no way my case is still
packed and standing in the hall, well the bottom of the stairs.

I expect he’s got a big stash built up from all those winnings Harry.A trip to London wouldn’t make a dent in Norm’s pile of cash.

They make the alloy shaped 50p at Inco Alloy’s in Hereford Harry.Several have pinched tippers and loaded them up with ingots from there,but failed to get up Fromes Hill on the A465. Could have been heading for Northampton.
Cheer’s Dave.
