About Us

Welcome to Dainty Steps, where our passion for Cairn Terriers comes to life. Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Ashbourne, our home is a haven not only for us but for the adorable, spirited puppies we lovingly raise. At Dainty Steps, we are more than breeders; we are caretakers, guardians, and champions of the Cairn Terrier breed.

Our journey began with a simple love for Cairn Terriers—their playful personalities, endearing loyalty, and vibrant energy. Over the years, that affection blossomed into a dedicated breeding program rooted in ethical practices, care, and a steadfast commitment to the health and happiness of our puppies.

Every puppy at Dainty Steps is raised as part of our family. From the moment they are born, they are nurtured in a safe, loving environment where they receive the attention and affection they deserve. Our puppies grow up surrounded by gentle hands, warm hearts, and plenty of socialization with people and other pets. This ensures they are not just healthy but well-adjusted and ready to bring joy to their new families.

Our Values

At Dainty Steps, our philosophy is simple: to preserve the Cairn Terrier’s unique traits while prioritizing the well-being of each puppy. Our breeding practices emphasize health, temperament, and adherence to breed standards. We believe that every puppy deserves the best possible start in life, which is why we invest time, care, and resources into every stage of their development.

We also strive to build lasting relationships with our clients. For us, it’s not just about placing a puppy in a new home—it’s about creating a bond of trust and support that extends well beyond the adoption process. Whether you need advice on training, nutrition, or care, we are always here to help.

Why Cairn Terriers?

Cairn Terriers are truly special. Known for their spirited energy, intelligence, and affectionate nature, they are the perfect companions for individuals and families alike. This breed has a rich history, originally bred in Scotland to hunt small game among the rocky cairns, but today they are celebrated as lively, loyal pets with boundless personality.

At Dainty Steps, we are dedicated to preserving the qualities that make Cairn Terriers so beloved. Our breeding program focuses on producing puppies that are not only healthy but also embody the playful, loyal, and friendly traits that define this wonderful breed.
