About Joymont Cairns
Joymont Kennels resides in the leafy suburbs of Ashburton in Melbourne, Australia. Cathy Scotton who is a Canadian came to Australia in 1979 and purchased her first Cairn Bitch from Betty Hart of Skyeway kennels in South Australia.
Cathy came from a three generation dog showing family. Her grandfather bred and exhibited English Setters, with his sisters breeding and exhibiting Irish and English Cockers.
Her dad helped handle dogs from an early age but due to the war and work commitments didn't continue.
The family was always given dogs over these years when needed. She remembers living with an English Setter in the prairies of Manitoba, then a Rough Coated Collie in Montreal, and a Beagle and Irish Setter in Ottawa.After marrying and moving to Lansing, Michigan for a year, she discovered the wonders of a Cairn Terrier and getting one of her own was Cathy’s first priority when arriving in Australia.
After visiting the Adelaide Royal and meeting Betty Hart (Skyeway) her first Cairn, Skyeway Cottage Joy was purchased in 1979. She was not the most successful show girl but proved herself in her progeny by producing Joymont Cleo, Champion. Joymont Kino and Champion. Joymont Dunlop Entry who is behind all the top Joymont winners of today.

The next big winner was Champion Joymont Avon who had a wonderful show career both at Joymont and with Brian McCowage in New South Wales. Mated to Champion Joymont Gold Ribbon, a daughter of Champion Joymont Kino they produced a wonderful litter of Champions with three males and a bitch shown, and the three boys going on to win Best in Shows and multiple Groups. They were Champion Joymont Storm Cloud, shown owned and exhibited by Vickie Thomas of Ballarat, Grand Champion Joymont Rain Master co-owned and exhibited by Susan Springer of Tasmania, and Grand Champion Joymont Hudson shown by Cathy.
Over the years dogs and bitches introduced to Joymont have added to the breeding program. Negura Golden Twigs from George Ness of Queensland, Champion Penfillan Bassie from Betty Millhouse of South Australia, Champion Glendevie Strike up the Band from Goldenhills Kennels Victoria, Champion Ieuandale Gold Entry from Ieulandale Kennels Victoria, and Champion and Swedish Champion Sarimont Scorzonera from Maud Montgomery Sweden who came out in whelp.
From New Zealand came Trevlac Secret Rose and then from Sweden our latest imports, Grand Champion Rottriver’s Makes People Talk and his sister Champion Rottriver’s I’m Lovin It. After a successful show career and a litter, "Lovin It" returned to Sweden in whelp with progeny now being shown in Germany.
Here at Joymont the dogs live in a family atmosphere. We believe in keeping quality not quantity so that the dogs receive the greatest time and care. In Ashburton you will find the highest density of Cairns of anywhere in Australia. Such a wonderful family dog is easy to re-house and place in wonderful family homes. We believe that every Cairn needs its own family to love and be loved. Therefore the numbers at home are always kept to a minimum with most show and breeding dogs living a wonderful family life of their own with friends and neighbours.
Cathy works closely with a number of successful Cairn exhibitors around Australia.
