Seeker was born October 23, 2003. He's the puppy I just couldn't pass up. While I was very pleased with the quality of the first litters Mary had from Sam, I decided against a puppy because I wanted to be the breeder of my next puppy. But...when you see a puppy with as much promise that Seeker was showing, you just have to own it, if at all possible. So, Seeker came to join our household.

Seeker hit the ring with a bang, winning two 4 point majors his very first weekend out. Seeker followed that up his next weekend in the ring, going Winners Dog and Best of Winners from the 6-9 puppy class at a Specialty. We held him out for the Montgomery Weekend where he won his class at Hatboro, at the CTCA Sweeps and went 2nd in his class at Montgomery. The very next Saturday he finished his Championship by defeating a top ranked special. Seeker finished at 11 months old in VERY limited showing. (6 shows.)

Seeker took a trip to the Cairn Terrier Club of Canada National Specialty in October of 2005. He had a nice weekend, winning a 5 point win on one of the All-Breed days at Canada's largest show, and garnering two reserve winners wins (one to his full brother, Paragon's Get the Led Out).

Seeker quickly earned his Novice Agility Title in just three trials, and his Novice Agility Jumpers Title in 4. He garnered his Open Agility Title in 3 straight trials and his Open Agility Jumpers Title in just 4 trials. Seeker earned his Excellent Agility Title in 9 Trials, and his Excellent Agility Jumpers Title in 7 trials. Seeker made his debut in Excellent B on April 30th, 2006 and earned his first Double Q at the first trial he was eligible to earn one! He has since earned his MX, and MXJ. We are very proud of Seeker and his speedy run through training to trials, as he started training in mid-June 2005 and finished his MACH November 3, 2007! We are also proud that Seeker is the first Conformation and Agility Champion Cairn.

Seeker is a son of BISS Am/Can Ch. McCairn's Sir Sam Steele "Sam". 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 starting a new career, as a VETERAN, on Specialty weekends only.

Seeker's dam is Ch. Paragon's Paper Trial "Paige". Paige finished at just over one year old from the Bred By class. She won two Goblets from the Cairn Terrier Club of America and earned her championship with three majors!
