Taz has officially been retired from breeding due to age. He still remains at my kennels, and will spend the rest of his life receiving all the treats, love, and care he could ever dream of and deserves. When he isn't laying in the sun n or in my lap, he loves to spend his time at our pond; chasing frogs and anything else he can find. 


Below you will find pictures of Taz, as well as a copy of his Pedigree.



Taz sadly passed away in October 2018 from old age. He was a happy, vibrant, much loved part of our kennel and he lived the high life. He got to have his lady friends when his ol' mom would let him and when he wasn't doing that, he was making trip after trip to our pasture chasing the frogs, four wheeler and trying to keep up with me. He was truly the epitome of a Cairn Terrier. He was perfect in every way and sweet as pie, but with a side of attitude when he wanted to get rowdy. I was only 14 when I got him and I'll never forget the countless trips to our pasture playing hide and seek and watching his short little legs try to keep up with me. He was my best friend, constant companion and the perfect sidekick to find trouble. Always under my feet and never wanting to be away from me unless he was after one of his ladies. Forever the gentleman to anyone he met. Thank you Taz for the memories, the years and the countless beautiful puppies you produced. We still have Katniss here as one of the last offspring he produced, and she is every bit a spittin' image of her daddy. Rest in peace sweet boy and when I see you over the rainbow bridge someday, I'll call you away from the frog chasing and into my arms for that love only you were able to give your momma when you knew she needed it most. I love you to the moon and back!!
