Cairn Terriers were bred some 200 years ago on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Their ancestors were used to hunt vermin from the rock piles, or “cairns” as the rock piles were called, found in the fields of their farmland. Cairn Terriers share their ancestry with the Scottish Terrier, West Highland Terrier, and the Skye Terrier. They were a working terrier, and were used to bolt fox, otter and weasels, kill rodents and the like.

Cairns are alert, courageous, tenacious, intelligent and have a sturdy body, an outer weather proof coat with a soft under coat. With a good brushing once a week their shedding is very minimal, they are healthy little dogs and live into their teens. The female Cairn Terrier is about 9 1/5 inches tall and weighs around 13 pounds, while a male Cairn Terrier is a little larger- 10 inches tall and weighs around 14 pounds. Their bodies should be 14 to 15 inches from the front of the chest to the back of the hindquarters.

Cairns are a very confident little dogs with a lot of common sense, an independent nature, friendly with everyone they come into contact with. They are adaptable to life in the city, on a farm, or anything in between. Cairns are active and playful, happy and full of high spirits. They have tender feelings and do not need harsh punishment at all, just a firm loving hand and consistent behavior on their owners part.

 

 

Cairn Terriers are affectionately known as “the best little pal in the world” and live up to their reputation.
