This is just a short note to let you know how greatful I am to have your grooming DVD! I am just now learning how to groom my Cairn for the show ring and your DVD has helped me immensely!
The way you explain and demonstrate grooming Cairns has made it so much easier for me to understand the whole grooming process! Thanks again for making such a useful tool for Cairn lovers!

I looked at your website and FB pages yesterday. What beautiful dogs you have!!! And you family and friends must be so wonderful and lucky to be involved.

Thank you so very much for being willing to help people better care for their Cairns and to be such a contributing factor to the betterment of the breed!!!
MRS.P, USA
We had always wanted to show our dogs, so again, Dawn and Rosemary were there, at every show, offering and sharing their vast experience and guidance to us mere novices. They helped us develop the fine art of showing, they gently advised us on how to change what we were doing in order to get the best out of our dogs. And, without fail, they were there to congratulate us when we did well and even more importantly, to congratulate us when we didn’t win!!!! Both Dawn and Rosemary are selfless in their support and their focus is on all Cairns doing their best – win or lose!
