Hello:
I am looking for a Cairn Terrier as a companion for another Cairn who I already own. I found an adorable one for sale at NextDayPets.com. I contacted the seller, Cheryl Nims in Lamar, Mo., but later thought I should do some Internet research on her to make sure she was not running a puppy mill, as I understand they are pretty common in Missouri and I wanted to make sure I was buying the dog from a reputable source.
Anyway, the Net is most revealing, and that is where I found out that Ms. Sims is a breeder of Yorkies, and where I found your message. I suspect she may also breed Cairn Terriers as well and I am very concerned about the entire situation there. I want to know if you ever found out who you could report her to, and if any investigation of her breeding facility was ever done. I am so opposed to puppy mills or any other form of cruel treatment to animals, so please let me know.
Thank You!
