Welcome to The Cairn Terrier Club
“The Best Little Pal In The World”
- 2026 Championship Helen Miller Memorial Show
The Club’s annual Championship Show took place on Sunday 29th March 2026, held in memorial to Helen Miller, who sadly passed away last year. Helen had served the Club for many years, and was the Club Secretary until 2024.
Fittingly, a dog from one of Helen’s last litters won Best Special Beginner in Show (Cornton Summer Special, Mrs M Robertson) and Ann Laidlaw also brought along Corbie, who is the last of Helen’s own dogs.

Club Launches New Membership Administration System
On Friday 19th December 2025 the Club officially launched its new online membership system, using membermojo. This will automate the Club’s membership application and renewal processes, making it much easier to manage as well as allowing you to amend and update your own personal profile. It will also allow us to generate e- bulletins with updates and information for the membership, and no doubt enhance your membership in ways we haven’t thought of yet.
Existing members should look out for an email from thecairnterrierclub@membermojo in the coming days regarding annual subscriptions (please check your spam or junk folder in case the new email address finds its way there). Any membership payments made before the system launches will be transferred across to it.
For more information, please visit our Membership page or to go directly to the new system, you can JOIN US HERE
