Cairn Terrier and Cairn Terrier pictures
The Cairn Terrier is a spirited, hardy, restless little dog. This
breed is somewhat independent, but friendly. It is a big dog in
a small dog's body. This breed is naturally patient with children
and very playful. It is alert, loyal, and mischievous. This dog
is very curious, fearless and bold. It is highly intelligent, easily
trained and likes to do tricks. This breed is sensitive; it needs
firm, but not harsh, training and discipline. Without attention
and proper training, the Cairn Terrier can become destructive and/or
bark excessively. This breed likes to dig searching for vermin;
it is not wise to leave it unsupervised in a landscaped yard. It
can be a chaser and should not be left off its lead in an unsecured
area. Never leave your Cairn Terrier tied out, as it may fight larger
dogs to protect its turf, sometimes with tragic consequences. Females
tend to be more independent than males and some breeders feel that
males are more affectionate. Some of the breed's talents are: hunting,
tracking, watchdogging, agility, competitive obedience, and performing
tricks, it also excels at Terrier trials. This breed will get enough
exercise running around a small yard, but if you live in an apartment,
it will need a daily walk or a romp in the park.
