We found a breeder on the AKC breeder classifieds and called her, she said her puppies cost $950 plus tax. Is this around the right price, or is it too much? Also, we are e-mailing her tonight and would like to know what to tell/ask her. What would you breeders want to know in the first e-mail?
what are you talking about.
Price will vary from breeder to breeder. That's not bad for a pet quality pup. That is towards the high end of the spectrum but not unheard of.
A breeder is going to want to know things like this:
Why you want this particular breed
Have you had dogs before
Have you had THIS breed before
What do you know about this breed?
Why do you want a dog?
What are you looking for in a dog? Pet? Show? agility?
What is your family like?
Outside vs Inside dog
What YOU should be asking
What genetic testing does she do on her dog?
What were the results on the parents of the current litter?
Does she show her dogs?
Limited registration for pet quality pups?
Does she require the animal come back to her if you can no longer keep the animal?
Health guarantee? How long?
Why does she breed?
How long has she been breeding?
Is she a member of the Cairn Terrier breed club? National or Local?
Why was this litter bred from these two dogs?
What does she do in the case of a unhealthy pup being sold and you do not wish to keep it? Monetary refund? Puppy replacement?

That's LOW!!
Are both parents finished?
*I* will NOT sell a dog on-line!!!
If a potential buyer can't manage to call me & answer my grilling,they're too cheap & lazy to get a dog from me.

You could get a Cairn for much MUCH cheaper if you check your local shelters first. Up to 40% of dogs in shelters are purebred, and not only would you be saving money you'd be saving a life! Check out http://www.petfinder.com and search by breed.
