  • Appearance

    Lively and fearless, this shaggy terrier is well adapted to working outdoors, and possesses a dense, double layered, water resistant coat. The head of the Cairn Terrier is broader and not as long as other terrier breeds, and the jaw is surprisingly powerful for a dog of this size.

  • Characteristics

    The Cairn is of a happy nature and an ideal companion who will exercise himself in a good sized, fenced garden. Sporting but always ready to be petted, the Cairn will love romping and exploring with children.

  • Temperament

    Bold, alert. They must, however, be taught at an early age to accept cats and other household pets as they will give chase once older.
