Cairn Terrier Club of America Versatility Dog

McCairn's Sir Sam Steele

RN, NAJ, CGC, ROME

Sam is a Best in Specialty winner as well as a multiple group winning and placing Cairn.  He won and placed in the group as a class dog, only losing the breed twice from the classes.  Sam finished #4 Cairn (all-breed cc system) in 2000.  He did so while being shown on a limited basis and while spending the first 4 months of the year as a class dog.  Sam finished #7 Cairn (all-breed-breed cc system) in 2001, and didn't get out much since I was busy with our new son, Ryan.  He finished #6 in 2002 and #4 in 2003.  Sam is being shown only at specialties.  He  came out for the Roving National in the Spring of 2004, and won an Award of Merit, along with his daughter (Ch. Paragon's Perfect Harmony) and his half sister (McCairn's Alix Westhead). 

Sam has proven to be an excellent and consistent producer.  He has sired a Canadian Best in Show winner and Reserve Best in Show winner, multiple Best Puppy in Show winners, multiple Group winners in the states and Canada along with several specialty winners.  Pleas scroll to the bottom to see his progeny's accomplishments.

Sam has started a new career as a Veteran. He started it with a bang, winning the Veteran Dog Class his first time out, on the Montgomery Weekend!  He followed that up with a Veteran Terrier Group One at the Southern Colorado KC in November of 2004.  He garnered Best Opposite Sex AND an Award of Merit win at the Summer Su-Mac Cairn Terrier Specialty under breeder-judge, Dr. Andrew Kramer.  Sam also was an Award of Merit winner at the CTCA Roving in California. We took a trip to the Cairn Terrier Club of Canada where he was also Awarded and Award of Merit in October of 2005.  He has gone on to earn two more Award of Merits in 2006 at the Greater Twin Cities Sumac Cairn Terrier Club and the Trinity Valley Cairn Terrier Club.

Sam earned his Novice Agility Jumpers title in 3 trials with two first places and a 2nd place at 10 years old!  He also finished his Rally Novice Title in 3 trials, with scores of 80, 88 and 95!

Sam is the son of BIS Am/Can Ch. Meadowwyn's One Trick Pony "Heidi".  Heidi is a one in a million dog.  She was a true showdog and with lots of sparkle.  Heidi has beautiful movement and awesome type.  There was never a time that she didn't respond when I asked her for 150%.  I was so lucky to be her partner during her show career....and what a career it was!  

Samsire is BIS Am/Can Ch. Barberi Hedge Johnny Rebel.  Johnny has a beautiful Cairn head and true terrier zest!  There are only 7 other Cairn terriers living that both Sire and Dam are BEST IN SHOW winners. Sam being the first one, his litter sister being the second and his litter of 6 half sisters.

    Special Thanks to Glenn Sergius and Frank Mesich of McCairn for letting Sam into our lives!
