As one of the orignal breeds to come out of Scotland, the Cairn Terrier is a tough and strong little machine. They were given the name Cairn Terrier sometime in 1910 due to their ability to claw through piles of rocks (cairns), prior to this they were known as the Shorthaired or Prick Eared Skye Terrier.
For a small dog, the Cairn Terrier requires a high level of exercise in order to build and trim their muscle tone. They are extremley friendly dogs that socialise great with humans and dogs. They have been known to be called 'the best little pal in the world.' They are very loyal, loving and intelligent and will give back what you put into them, plus another 100% more! Although they are gentle and do not look for trouble, they will defend their family and territory with great courage and strength.
Their coat is double layered so it is recommended that their top coat be stripped during summer, in order to keep it healthy.
They have a great little personality in them and that little mischievious glint in their eye will remind why you love them!
The delightful Hugo never says no to a belly rub!
