Barry The Brave, The Cairn Terrier!
Welcome!
I’m the owner of Barry the Brave, a 4-year-old Cairn Terrier from Surrey, UK.
Barry is a show dog with a big personality who loves long walks, countryside adventures, and the occasional dog show. Over the years we’ve learned a lot about living with, training, grooming, and showing Cairn Terriers — and this website is where I share it all.
You’ll find practical advice, real experiences, handstripping tips, travel stories, and everything we’ve picked up along the way.
Whether you have a Cairn, are thinking about getting one, or just love the breed, I hope you’ll find something useful here.
Come and have a look around.

Lovely news – Barry has a new litter of Cairn Terrier puppies
I wanted to share some wonderful news with you.
Barry became a daddy again, and a litter of eight puppies was born on 14 October. Most of them are Red Brindle, and 2 are Wheaten Brindle. Four Boys and four girls! Mum and babies are doing well, and the breeder is absolutely delighted. This is so wonderful to see.
He is a Kennel Club registered Cairn Terrier with a strong show record, including placings at CRUFTS and international dog shows. Health tested
A few people are already on the waiting list. If you have been thinking about a puppy from him, or would simply like to know more, please contact us:
