Welcome to my Web site!

My name is Liz Hallsworth and June 7, 2005 Brigadoon's Dixie Crystal "Sugar" was born. On June 2006 Coralrock's Jamie Got A Harley O'McCormick was born. These two beautiful girls will be the foundation of McCormick Cairns. Both Sugar and Harley are outstanding female Cairns both with qualities I love. I believe blending the lines will produce some healthy even tempered good looking Cairns.

A little about how I came up with McCormick Cairns. I had a wonderful Grandmother who was so full of life, a little stubborn and just a joy to be with. She loved dogs and always loved her grandchildren no matter what they did. I figured a Cairn Kennel named after her would be very fitting. I want my Cairns to be full of life, a little stubborn and bring joy to all that meet them! Hence, McCormick Cairn. The tartan was the one I found for the McCormick Clan.

I will be working closely with Brigadoon, Podauri, and Coralrock Cairn Terriers to develop McCormick Cairns.

I have about one litter a year beginning in 2007.

About Cairn Terriers

Over 200 years ago, on the ancient Isle of Skye and in the Scottish Highlands, the ancestors of today's Cairn Terrier earned their keep routing vermin from the rock piles (called cairns) commonly found on Scottish farmland. These early terriers were highly prized and bred for their working ability, not appearance. Such characteristics as courage, tenacity and intelligence, housed in a sturdy body clad in a weather-proof coat, armed with big teeth in strong jaws, were sought generation after generation. Gradually the breeds known as the Scottish Terrier and the West Highland White evolved and were named.

The Cairn (the last to be formally named) remained the closest to the original small working terrier, bolting the fox, otter and weasel, sharing the meager fare of the crofter's household.

Today the Cairn Terrier in America is a sensible, confident little dog, independent but friendly with everyone he meets. He may be found in an apartment, suburban home, or on a farm. Alert, intelligent and long-lived, the Cairn tends to remain active and playful well into his teen years, endearing him to children. True to his heritage, the breed still has very large teeth, large feet with thick pads and strong nails (the better to dig with!), strong, muscular shoulders and rears, and a fearless tenacity that will lead him into trouble if his owners are irresponsible.
